I was talking to Adam about it earlier and it seems he hasn't set up the tranny so ATM he is is low gear only.... I might have to go brushless in our upcoming Abrams We will have metal tracks with rubber pads on it so hopefully that makes a large difference. That truck is very nice and heavy. Hopefully I see him soon, we shall rematch! If you check out bigsquidrc.com you can see our booth! I will set up something with them soon, the more people we can get into the hobby the better!
