my motor/esc combo finally came in and i was able to take mine out for the first time yesterday. this is my first 1/8 scale car so the performance was going to be a shock to me anyway but man i love this thing.

first i took it to a local bmx track during my lunch hour. i can't believe the distance this thing can clear. not only that but survive the jumps. i was hitting stuff that was insane to me. 40-60 gaps like it was nothing.

then last nite i was able to get to my local 1/8 scale track just to get a feel for it. holy crap it's awesome. my center diff is leaking, so i'll tear it down and rebuild all three with the mugen gaskets and some sanding. but overall i'm very happy with the car. i still need to play around with gearing. i'm running a 2250kv with the stock 15t pinion right now, i think i can go up a few teeth.

my poor 1/10 scale stuff is going to start to feel left out. lol
