Thats
hard, i really like the Traxxas E-Maxx crawler, but i soon will

RC4WD:
|
What's
your favorite mod and why? |
|
Michael:
|
The
favorite mod would be the locked differentials they
really make the truck hookup and real four wheel drive
is the only way you rock crawl. |

|
Any
short cool story to share? |
|
Michael:

I
guess it has to do with my rock crawling bubby Sam the
owner of the red Tamiya TXT-1 he is putting together a rc-10
t3 and he was in need of a motor so i gave him a 15t
motor. the next night i got a call from Sam he told
me that he was mad and that i owed him a set of tires
and parts for his his new t3 truck. i thought he was
unhappy with the motor and told him that i had others
to choose from. he kind of laughed at me and told me
that the truck was so fast that it would roast the tires
off and on his last run he lost control and smashed
the truck into his house and broke the front bulkhead
and and had to buy parts in order to drive it again. |
