    Ran my ridgecrest today with a 2s lipo since its the only deans I have and its for my scx10.. Holy shit i wasnt expecting it to be as fast as it is, its not sct fast but compared to my other crawlers it hauls ass, it has a good crawl speed once you get used to the trigger, crawls up stuff fairly easily. Overall I am super happy to have got this, i think I am gonna follow this guys path and make it bulletproof, if it cant crawl it, it will use the speed and just bash its way throught it.. :cool:

    Yeah it has some nice flex, I feel that video really shows it well, shows how it crawls (even tho that one isnt stock, it performs close to that), but it also has those clips in the video where it shows its not just a crawler, it can go fast also.

    I took mine off my trekker by putting them in the freezer for about 3hrs, the glue broke. Why are you taking your off? I am still on the stock tires but i added some solder to help with climbing.

    Good to see another trekker on here :D

    I'm going to paint my wheels wheels. I took all of the decals off the shell already. I'm trying to make a scale replica of my Tacoma. :D

    Ahh ok, haha. If your just painting it, why not take the ring off, tape the tire and spray it?

    I just might do that seeing it's going to be more trouble removing the tires of the wheels.
