    You're asking the wrong person. Lol. My first time ever doing anything with RC. I do have a 2speed gearbox. :notsure:
    Front axles one or both can spin. Rear both spin in same direction. Always looking to learn tho. :hattip:

    That’s pretty cool, youll have to let us know how it holds up. It looks like really low CG. Like a mini bomber.

    Those are basically a 1/12 Twin Hammers. Only issues I've had with mine was twisting off the little driveshaft with 3s brushless and most hardware is m2.5 instead of m3. Other than that it has held together nicely. Open front and rear diffs with poly gears. Grenaded my rear diff and mixed a few drops of 2 part epoxy. "Welded the spider gears" and it's been rocking on. Banggood used to carry one without any electronics for about $60, IIRC. Drop in a 38xx 3000kV brushless, mini servo, and you're off to the races.

    Yeah i had welded the front and rear diffs and blew both up. So left the front open now and have a axial rear on it instead. Also alot of the screws when im able i drill out to m3.

    i also blew a few transmissions. But thats my fault. When i went to brushless i used the stock gear and drilled it larger but it wasn’t strait. But i long fix that

    I applaud you guys for modifying like that but it would piss me off. I really appreciate how well engineered and the precision of VP aftermarket stuff. If it doesn't fit together right I probably would pass on it. Now I am more into the fabrication of bumper sliders cages and other tube work but reworking plastic is the worst
