I think he just wanted to show off his whizzy new (and ridiculous overkill) motor.

tedious, fun so far, for some reason it reminds me of a Tamtech GT-01 build. I hope to finish it today, and I hope my damn 2s Lipo's fit in there.

Hey guys I'm picking up an M06 Race , I am familiar with minis as I currently have and race an M03. I have read the thread and am curious to know what hop ups guys are finding to be "must haves" for this particular kit. I know I will be replacing the dampers on mine and adding universals and a good ball diff, anything else? I'm not so much into blingy items, more just ease of maintenance and durability things, thanks.
