    The people over at In controll hobbies are the best! They always have the parts that no one in spokane has!

    Mine needs a steering servo. It’s fun and I have done some mods to mine with spare parts and spare wheels with bigger tires.

    A few little things and that little buggy would be a killer little crawler. Great price point for someone getting into the hobby as well

      For sure, at $159 it’s a great starter for anyone 🤘🏼

    Most common problems with those are the driveshafts. They are not strong enough for the rig. Super easy fix. Pen spring mod and siping the tires work really great for this rig. You can also buy a carbon fiber body to lighten it up. It will require different links though. I have two and I am happy with them! Glad to see you picked one up!

    What I really like about these is the central 540 motor vs like Grayson’s danchee that’s motor on axle. It allows many options for mods.

    Coincidently, I'm not far from there, I was born and raised in the Coeur D'Alene area. InControl Hobbies is in Post Falls Idaho. I was looking for a size comparison for this crawler because I travel for work and would like something small to take on the road. ECX is always a good option for budget RCs. I got a ECX stadium truck for my wife it is impressive for the price.

    That is a really sweet little rig. Looks fun. Different motor and who knows. Could you run a lipo with that motor. I was thinking its semi rock bouncer style for sure. But could just change some gearing and well you know. Say word. Thanks as always.
