the GSt 7.7 TOWERS over EVERY other 1/8 scale truck i've ever seen! Plus it has 5HP, 3 speed tranny WITH REVERSE and let me tell you it's TOUGH and will take a BEATING!
I seriously doubt it has 5HP. When it comes to nitro engines NEVER believe the manufacturers blurb. Realistically its probably nearer 2 hp. I don't know who makes that engine but if its a CEN engine it will most probably run hot and give problems too.
I'm not bashing it just speaking from experience with CEN engines. As its a big un though it might be sourced from elsewhere and be ok.
