    Very nice. Think it'll be easier to work on than the exo? From what I've seen that thing is PITA

    Too many to list

    I am hoping so, from what i have read its much easier. Thats my main reason im getting rid of the exo, its a pita to work on and switch out batterys. One downfall tho is I will need to buy some 2s shorty packs sinco most of my batterys wont fit.

    i was digging through some old pics and ran across these... a few pics of my first crawler build, ever... its was built out of a pti goliath, and used an rc10 b4 buggy transmission when they first came out. it has to have been about 10 yrs ago when it was built. it fell victim of ebay... got like $800 for it though

    A lot of people are racing them at SDRC and like them It was either the SCTE or this and I went with the Tekno. I guess having SDRC as their home track helped with the decision.
