hey guy's me and my brother ran our volcano's over the weekend.i must say i was surprized at what they can do.its the first time i really got to run them in the open.my smartech buggy hit the side of my brothers volcano.it did about 5 end over ends.landed back on its wheels and still ran awesome.no damage to either one.i'm truley glad i did get the volcano,it was s***ing and getting.i think those trucks are pretty awesome.even though i do have problems with it at times.we was at our local park and people would drop there jaws when they saw the things we was doing with them.people got on there cell phones calling other people to come and watch.i dont know why im really posting this.maybe its because i have complained alot on here about them.now im ok with things breaking,cause after the beating they got this weekend,they have changed my mind.anyways we walked away with no broken parts,and we put them through hell.i think with the aluminum parts they will be tuff as nails.i cant wait to get my aluminum parts and see how solid they become.ok with that said sorry about this novel you are reading lol.also for the new volcano owners have patience they are worth it in my opinion.
