Overall they are a blast. I found with my 6.5T motor, running my throttle EPA down to 80% shaved .5+ seconds off my lap times. It was much more like a 13.5 wheeler and way easier to drive. Slowing down the servo speed or getting expo dialed helps tame the steering.
Really helpful. I'll look at the rear hubs. I know my kid broke a couple shock towers. I figured I'd throw a 13.5 in it as I have one sitting in a box.
have you tried the 48p spur gears? Would rather not have to buy more gears.
