How do you like your nitro quake in regards to speed and jumping?

Its okay... there isn't much travel on the suspension but the car is built pretty solid. There is so much torque and weight that the clutch bells keep stripping. I get the steel ones and after a few runs they strip. I'm about ready to sell the truck...

Speed is decent, I think the HPI and T maxx blow it away.

You sure your gear mess is correct. I had one of these trucks and you said it right they are durable with the exception of the body post. I didn't want to sell mine but something had to go at the time and I was helping a friend get into the MT side of RC. Anyway I never had a problem with stripping bells with that engine. I would check that again and see if it's mess or something else. And you mentioned the Tmaxx and Savage blow it away. Well if you in the market for a new engine remember you can use a box with the quake that means the skys the limit when it comes to off road engines. You will have to play with the suspension the stock shocks suck but I beat on that truck like hell and it kept ticking. I sold it for 150 with remote and hitec 645 servo think he got a good deal? It's a nice truck. My 2cents.
