Default Wicked Rc Guy Gecko 2 lol!!!!

Hey guys,

Well heres my new Gecko 2.

I have wanted one of these and finally got to pick one up a few weeks ago. The truck had been built but never run so today when I got it I changed a few things and went over it. However I should have done a better job since I lost one of the aluminum knuckle screws and the little white spacer thingy.

I can honestly say this is the nicest truck I have ever owned. I took it out after I got all the electronics in I took it out and ran around a few snow banks, What a blast!!!! [8D]

Nice truck. I've been wanting one myself to set up as a crawler with independent 4-wheel steering on a 3rd channel. I used to do some real rock crawling BC (before children) LOL.

BTW, what's that "white" stuff in all your pictures. Don't see anything like that down here in Alabama!

Dont mind me Im just taking another peek at your sweet ride ... but the only thing I figured out I dont like is the body height. Once you do some serious crawling that body is gonna take some serious hits with that height

Hey guys,

Nope the tires were nip.

Minimadman, you have to go get one of these. Notsure if you had a Gecko before but this truck is just great. Watching it crawl around is something else.

Allen Sondej, thanks for coming back to check it out but I have to keep the body that high. Any lower and the body woudl get ripped to shreads everytime I did some serious articulation.

I'm not into electric trucks either, but the brushless stuff is drawing my attention.

Either way you look at it, the machine we see here is awesome - it's superbly engineered.

I know nothing about this type of truck, but it definitely shouts 'QUALITY' to me. Nice Job.

Hey Wicked you seem to know your stuff, do they make chassis similar to the Gecko for the Jugg? Or are they only made for the clodbuster? Whats the difference between the two? Thanks man.

Hey mann,

Well there is a big difference since the Jugg has a center motor gear case and the clods have there motors right on the axles.

There are a few chassis for the Jugg. I just picked up a Jugg 2 a week ago and I may eventually be going with this chassis.
