Yeah definitely, are you using your titan motor still though, may be quite a bit of speed difference. We will have to pick a date...

Yeah, got the Titan 12T in it.. but the speed is really limited by the gearing.. LOL! I run the 20T pinion in it.. and it will top out rather quickly.. !!

TEX runs the Sport Tune in his and our speed difference is very minimal.. but I probably have a little bit more torque..

But yeah, trust me, it is all for fun.. when we say "race", we just mean "mess around chasing each other and crash" LOL!

Ha ha ok, I might upgrade to the sport tune in the future, but the stock silvercan is plenty fun for me right now...

I have a little video I am trying to throw online.

Yeah, play w/ the silvercan for now... it is a lot of fun no matter what motor you got in it! I think TEX said he put the Mamba Max 5700kv in it before and it was too crazy.. LOL!!

The motor was to keep Willy grounded a bit. But now I have made a custom battery pack that actually sit's on the sides of the frame. I use my willy as a trailer/crawler.Now that i have the custom batt pack i dont need the motor to keep willy grounded. Pics and info are in these past forums, check them out.
