While my Clodbuster only needs a gearing change to be close in top speed to the nitro MT's around here, it completely destroys them in accel... When I can get traction
And it handles like a boat... But it's still fun to drive!

With my 2S 6500mAh packs, I can get around 40 minutes of runtime.

Not bad for a truck that's bigger than most Savage's

That being said, I still have more fun tinkering with my Kyosho STR, experimenting to make it run on alternative fuels
Gotta do something with the old 2.5 (not even a 2.5R!) until I can afford a real engine for the truggy
