Sure, Nat... we're all rich like you!!! 
As it is, I'm having trouble keeping up with steering it with the stock 280 installed. What do you think that Mamba would do?

The graphs I saw only showed up to 25,000RPM. What's it say about taking a 6V and juicing it up to 12V?

That wouldn't be good. I need something that will handle 12V. I guess the 8.4V is the closest. I'll have to take apart the leads for the motor and measure the ampherage.

Gears only break when you slam on the throttle. This motor has a ramp up over time. Check the graphs. It should be OK.

I agree. With the smaller gears in the rockcrawlers, the only thing I can hear coming from this is.... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRINDing gears.

I have some pretty good relations with the AFLAC duck considering my first name is Donald.
I asked him what he thinks I should do next to my truck. He had this idea...
http://aflacracing.com/video_gallery.aspx
Monster Tires!!!
Let's see here... to do this...
2009 NASCAR COT Body
AFLAC Decals
And a general idea of what it looks like so I can place the AFLAC stickers and decals on properly...
I'm thinking about it.............. HMMMMMM!!!!!!

Well, Nat, it already has tires in larger proportion than standard 1:10 scale NASCAR shells. So, basically, the gag effect will work without the need for making the tires larger. Just replacing the shell will do for this hilarious mod. Of course, NASCAR rigs don't have lights, so I'll have to put quick-connect plugs on the leads between the lighting and the existing shell. Not a biggie. I can still have the Blue Streak light active as it's mounted below the shell. Just need to make a plug with a switch on it to light the Blue Streak up. This will be awesome with some chrome headers coming out the sides like the commercial!!!

Didn't think of that, but if I can find flashing ones, that would give me that flickering flame look. Good idea. Thanks!

Now all I need is for people to start listening. Too many people have the first words come out of their mouth to be "let me take a hot knife to this and slice it up like Joan Rivers in a GEICO commerical comparing a night a Bennihana to her rhinoplasty!!!!" HA! HA! HA!
