well no i do not do crazy jumps like on beatyourtruck lol what happens if i hit a lil bump on the grass and the wheels come off the ground? will i mess up the whole spur gear(s)? im sure i have seen a video of you doing some cool jumps lol...or did you not have the 2speed in when that video was taken. and that is a very nice thought & present for the kid. get a video of the cars buzzin around. also...did you put it together so you have someone to bash with
lol. savages have 3speeds and they do crazy jumps but they have slippers on them dont they. can you not fit a slipper clutch on. or am i asking for the impossible.

if you jump your truck stay away from the two speed. They don't have slippers. It'll bust quick and you will go through spurs like crazy. If you run onroad it is ok.
He hasn't had the best life growing up so giving him this truck is the least I can do to bring a little joy into his life. Worst part is, He is huge into video games. I think he is gonna kick our rearends all around the race track after he gets a little driving time in.
As for the body. I give it two days before it's beat up. 1st day he will take it easy, next day he'll be bashing
I would have just slapped a solid paint job on it if I cared about it getting beat up. I honestly can't wait to see some war wounds on it!

wow Ive got some work on my hands.
I'm going to clean my car up real good (for the fresh engine), my car is so muddy [X(]. i love cleaning it. anyway i was just reading some posts on the 2speed gearing. is it a straight drop in process? are any mods needed? i was thinking of getting a 2 speed gearing set because they have them on offer for £20 i think the rrp is around £40-50. And having a 2speed...what are the advantages/disadvantages? what happens if you jump and you land in the second gear lol? plus i love the sound of it shifting into second gear
. I think when i get my new engine i will break it in and leave it. because i need to upgrade my diffs. because now i have the money
when i order my diffs shall i buy diff oil and it comes in different watts? [&:] what do you guys run or what should i use?. and should i get after-run oil aswel, i want to try and get the longest life time out of this engine.
