Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

The *Unofficial* GPF RC Thread

Little girls ruckus came, only got to have it on charge for 3hrs vs the 9 required but hey she is 4 and it was plenty of time for her to learn. 1/18 really is dam small compared to the 1/10. Little fcker moves though, kinda funny

That would be a blast to go offroading in, but 4 motors and 1 battery??!?! I have twin motor and 1 battery and lucky to get 5min. That would also be hella expensive to go lipo and brushless on!
 


I let my friends nephew play with the Ruckus for a little bit today and it got ran over by a car......
Other than a stripped out diff this was the only damage.

They don't make an upgraded diff for this truck, its just plastic gears in there. And looks like the rear diff is notorious for stripping out and ECX won't admit that it is a problem. And they don't sell just the gears you have to order an entire rear end............

I had a lot of aluminum parts in my Rustler and ended up switching back to aftermarket RPM arms, rear strut tower. Plastic at least gives, but Aluminum bends and then your ride is all jacked up.

I ran my friends rustler into the rear of my back tire at about 50 and his truck exploded, even the paint came off of the inside. luckily I had all my gear and was able to fix it there on the spot....that's the fastest I have ever seen an RC car come to a complete stop. Lol
