Good tips.

[@turtlelaboratories]

Thank you!

[@MysticRiverRC]

Thanks for the pointers, I have two used rigs, a Gen8 and a SCX10ii, I went over them with a fine tooth comb before making the purchases. But yeah, you sometimes never know what you'll find.

[@turtlelaboratories]

Even when you, do, sometimes there's something deeper inside. I have definitely been burned by used rigs before. Thank you for watching!

Great content bro - subscribed

[@turtlelaboratories]

Much appreciated!

[@Gunzo1999]

lol should’ve put a fusion in it. Just tout more junk and the servo still not strong enough.

[@turtlelaboratories]

I wanted to keep this rig brushed, and the servo is PLENTY strong!

Rear axle angle sucks

[@turtlelaboratories]

It did! That's why we made it the best we could with what we had!
