This thing is not a Slash or Stampede people, and not even close to being a basher. It simply wasn't built for any of the expectations that most of these owners out here have. Peoples excuse for running 8s is basically because they can and because the ESC is barely capable.
Lol, then why did Losi big gears, suspension ect on it and do speed runs themselves?
This isn't a scaler you do 10 mph with, and the esc itself is labeled 8s 1200kv on the outside. Do you know the difference between running big pinion HV 6s over small pinion 8s?
The trucks are beastly.
