One has a .28 motor, the other a .32, and I think the .28 is faster.

Status: offline 		Awesome!!! Have you found anywhere to get parts? I'm in need of a rear body post mount. I have the body post...but missing the mount they slide into.

Oh by the way...my brakes use to "stick" sometimes...so I took the spring from a ball point pin and slid it on the opposite side of the brake rod. So now in "neutral"..the brake will release all tension. I'll post a pic later if my description is confusing. Lol

Status: offline 		You found the "secret" for nuetralizing the brakes huh?.......good, it can also be used for the throttle.
I like the mantis, VERY strong car, managed to finally break a suspension arm, just hit a pole at full speed <BG>

Status: offline 		Lol....yep...it took me a minute!! At first I loosened the bolts that held the arms down and that helped, but I could still feel the drag. So then the lightbulb came on!! Lol I've done it with other trucks before...so why not the Mantis! Duh Lol

Yeah it's probably the toughest truggy I have in my garage! I love it! Do you still have the stock shocks? I run some big bores with 70% in them...and it still feels soft.

By the way...I just went to vgracing.com website and ordered my mount!! You're the man! Thanks!! I've been searching the internet forever trying to find my part number!
