I agree, it is just as fast as a Radical .21 and alot easier to get parts for LOL!

BTW Here is a Diff upgrade for the monsoon which makes the diffs alot stronger and run way better. A Clermont hobby has seen it done on a Hurricane and made a big difference. I got my parts from [link]http://clermontmotorsports.com[/link].

Here is a upgrade for the differentials in the monsoon. Some people have problems with them stripping out the ring gear. I installed CEN Matrix ring and pinion gears part #MX040 and MX037. The truck rolls smooth as glass now just like my ST-RR and Hyper and does not have the grinding noise and notchiness of the stock gears when you roll the truck. A friend did this to a Hurricane buggy and it ran 10 times better with this upgrade so I figured I would try it since I just stripped my ring gear.

Steps to do this mod.

1-removed front or rear diff
2-swap out ring gear and oring, shims and pin
3-grind out the recessed area on the chassis where the ring gear goes a little lower and wider to clear the bigger thickness of the cen gear (ring gear will scrape if not done)
4-remove pinion gear and swap bearing, shim with cen pinion
5-cut down both screws on that go into the chassis to hold down diff case on the side of the ring gear (they will hit gear if it is not done)
6-install everything back and make sure it rolls freely.
7-HERE ARE SOME PICS



I will post back after tomorrow when I run at the track how it runs.
