I run a 23T Tamiya Super Stock TZ with the TEU-101 in my Box, zero problems although driven hard. Lots of torque and sufficent speed with 26,500 rpm, but it bores me right now... 
ORIGINAL: Lunchboxer
I think it will work w/ the stock ESC, although technically the TEU-101 is rated for 27T only, but people have been using it w/ lower turn (down to 19T?! some say yes, some say no) okay..

i put oil shocks on mine, then converted one of the old friction shocks for use in as the 3rd shock. I had to relocate the ESC but it wasn't too big of a problem. i cut the 3rd shock spring to reduce resistance and it rides great. and the best part is it iddn't really cost anything. 3rd shock for free? yes please!

ok, send out your touring car as a preliminary distraction. then, while the canadians are distracted, we'll send in the tanks. the helicopter will offer air support for monitoring progress. if there are any insurgents, they'll have to deal with hannibal, face, merdock, and b.a. baraccas. then, after we have them under control, we'll take the monster truck and crush all that's left.
CANADA WILL BE OURS!!!

Those SVT Contour were pretty nice!! Ford needs to bring more SVT models to the market.. instead of stuff like Fushion and Five Hundred.. (but seriously, what kind of name is FIVE HUNDRED???)

it was a marketing strategy (since abandoned) that they were going to name all the new ford models with an "f" .. ford fusion, ford freestyle, ford five hundred....
but now they're trying to revive the taurus because of the brand recognition and what not. i love ford, but they are having a hard time getting their $#!+ straight.
