Had mine out today. 2wd + 8 inches of snow = you ain't goin nowhere! But I had fun in the street where the plow had come through and leveled it down to the hard pack.


You REALLY need to get rid of that tamiya plug. Huge difference even with the Titan.

I hadn't noticed that. But yes, darn good price, and a darn good battery. I have one that sat dormant for 5 months, charged it once and got 20 minutes run time.


Any problems with heat with that over tray? Doesn't look like there would be much airflow over the ESC with that on.

not sure about a heat issue but a friend said the same thing.
i have holes drilled in the front and directly over the esc for air flow and no snow got in so thats good.
i ran it once before on our muddy track so i knew where mud went and where it didn't. i drilled holes where the mud did not get on it.
i guess i'll find out when the weather gets warm if i'm gonna have any issues with heat or not.
i just got it recently for mud and snow so i may not even run with it in the summer.
