Overall I'm super happy with the Truggy on my home carpet track. It jumps well, handles the corners beautifully and overall it's a high quality mini RC. I opted for the HW 2848 4Kv motor and Justock ESC with an 18T pinion. If feels pretty good. About the only thing I did was shim the diffs and the steering (carriers, knuckles, etc). A bag of M3x5 and M4x6 shims (0.1 -> 0.3 depending) did the trick. The steering is nice and tight. Just a little play but not any more than my AE race rigs and a little play is good.
I did the hobbywing 10bl 120am esc, and same 2848 motor, its ballistic, i have it down to like 73% for throttle., lol, getting the slipper right took a min as well as the brake percentage. LOL the miniy 1/10 truggy and 1/8 guys are like, Damnnn that thing is fast. lol
