Please ignore the quality and the driving technique(had never driven a tracked brushless RC before) and focus on the speed/acceleration/steering.........http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeI4acrTEEI

I like the Mammo-Van idea !! The new bod would be kinda neat navy and weathered looking. I'm parked again ( no snow ) Back to the matrix arena or axial for awhile. Post pics of the body build. Should be interesting.

Status: offline 		I'm thrilled, except I need to remove the brake setting. It needs to be Forward/Neutral/Reverse, right now it's set at 50% brake, and it does cart-wheels if I let go of the trigger too quick. One thing I wanted to know was how well would it jump, the answer is perfectly, it got nearly two feet of air several times and just kept going. The CG/balance is lowsy for climbing, but just right for high-speed jumps. I'm leaving the suspension alone, it's actually right on for crusty/hard snow landings. The brakes are less twitchy after I adjusted them, but only 60% ideal, Dupont Delrin pads should fix that.
