    My AX10 is running a 55T and a Rooster Crawler Controler. She's got torque for days and is piss slow. Low gears and I upgraded the shocks.

    Of course! Glad you're happy with it :)

    I was very surprised at how heavy it was the first time i picked one up. they build that truck incredibly stout.

    Okay, so, question for you guys. how long do they make R/C shocks? had an idea to convert my garage door opener compartment in my truck to a switch bank, but i would like to use some sort of shock to keep the panel from swinging around, figured a small r/c shock or two would work the best.

    Waiting on a new rc to add to the collection. Hpi rs4 ken block.

    Really enjoy my wraith for crawling. (Backyard crawling is all I've had time to do)

    Love my sprint 2 flux for drifting. Got some new belts coming in and one way front differential and locking the rear for better drifting. Plus new rx7 body with body kit and lights to put in

    Honcho for scale trail riding.

    Mini rs4 is coming with me to work to run in the gym
