you can put a modest 21 in any truggy with the right gearing and be fast...bu tyou will never likely pass 45 mph...single speed tranny is somewhat limited to top end...2 speed mt trannys will get up over 50 mph

Buddy, the people buying this car don't care about speed, but lap times. So if you want speed, go and get yourself a Megatech dragster. It's cheaper, and faster.

I am new to RCU and a proud new owner of the Prospec Truggy. Cant wait to race it.

Anyways has anyone had a problem with the brake adjusting rods binding on the brake cam levers and if so what was their fix for it?

It isn't specified but It feels like it's inbetween .040 and .060, more on the .040 side (feels about the same as the stock MBX5T body). It also doesn't have cut lines so you can cut it how you want it.

Thats a cool body,I will have to get one.

I have a question.I know this has been mentioned before in this thread but when you built your truck did it seem that the rear dogbones are a little short? Mine are just hanging on the edge of the outdrives.

Your bearing hubs are on backwards...The tang with 2 holes in it should be facing toward the rear.
