the himoto website is himotoracing.com its pointless. And what do you want us to see? As far as a good place to start bashing? Just make sure its open and doesnt have many cement objects.

I have a himoto syclone pro with the two speed...been happier with it than my son's traxxas stadium maxx...I've been able to keep it running a lot longer and it was much cheaper...I got it on Ebay 'cause I was given a $200 cap (OK so I spent 225 out the door, but I got a bunch of extra glow plugs, in line fuel filter, and starter kit)...but learning what I have since, I'd get from Mark at Top Speed Toys...I still need to figure out what I need to place one order with him, but he's been great with people in the threads and has good prices...
As far as truck or buggy, everyone has their own opinion...depends on what you plan to use it for, and what you want out of it. If you plan on flatter dirt, or jumps and want top speed, go with the buggy, if you're going over rougher terrain, where you need the ground clearance, go with the truck...but what I've seen in the threads vs my personal experience, I think the buggies are more durable, as the bigger wheels put more strain on the drivetrain and suspension components....Just MHO....

Well it depends on how well you can set the mesh inbetween the gears. I've had mine on there for about half a gallon the gear looks almost like new. But then again I remember when I first got my car I was stripping a gear every 5 or so tanks of gas.
So really it all depends.
