    very true, i will be running it on 2 2s in series at first, then switch the esc over to 5.5 bullets so i can run my 2 5s packs in parallel. It is a gs storm that was a nitro and he converted it to electric.

    FUCK a cab forward anything!!! The new trend in RC bodies is disturbing to say the least. They look like they have been stepped on, or shit on, your choice.

    OK, here is a test, first is a body that came on a used truggy, it was thrown in the thrash, with no effort to sell. Second, just some shit I shot for free, cause I hated the other body so much. Opinions?

    And opinions on the bodies....

    Paint looks good on the yellow onee but the shape of it sucks.

    I also don't like the associated cab forward bodies.

    Sorry, celebrating a little early, but I was quoting your post, there is no yellow one in your post. Orange and silver only.
