From what I have read they are a pretty good truck. Problems with 2nd gear being the biggest issue on the nitros.

Yea they are a pretty good truck. Nothing has broke yet so far, has lots of power and I believe that I heard it hit second gear earlier. Was in the snow today, loads of fun. Try to post pics in the morning.

How come you've got your batteries mounted externally like that?  I posted in the Raptor thread in the Monster Trucks forum too; it looks like we're some of the last of the dying breed of owners...
