    I'm not sold now but I was before. 1st I think the 33% is too much. I wonder if that could be made less with a different gear. 2nd is that clicking but haven't seen any others do that. 3rd I wouldn't even deal with them shocks. So you throw them away and the tires for sure. Now that $500 with plastic everything isn't so pretty. The Etco looks superior in ability on your course too IMO Anxious to see more videos by you on this one before I'd pull the trigger.

    Mine is making a clicking sound too. I believe it's coming from the spur pinion area I can feel it most there. I took it apart and its spins great but once together its noisy and feels like its clicking kinda. I put truck in Nuetral and rev it and still clicks. Gonna have to mess with it more I guess. I'd like it to be quiet and smooth too.

  • @urdonercjeremyburris7541

    Please somebody explain to me why most if not all (with the exceptions of a very few) rc run videos are recorded with music? You cannot hear the motor / vehicle working, the tires getting a grip, etc. playing music is reducing our ability to get a better sense of the vehicle driven. If possible, please get rid of the noise and just run / drive the trucks. Your work is good however, you do make good reviews.

    • @ExocagedRC

      There is music at the start, none during the video. But to answer your question, some may want to hide a “click” or there are other noises around with swear words or even wind noise. There are reasons for it rarely do I have music throughout the drives.
