    Mine just got delivered earlier in the week,Just waiting on my batteries. Don't think I'll modify it much though. 80+ Mph is plenty for me. Funny going from an X-Maxx 8s, to a crawler build to a Felony. Surely this is the natural progression of most in the hobby hahahaha
    Awesome build and love how slow it can go. I'd order the titanium skid plates but shipping from the UK to Australia is super slow atm.
    Cheers for the vid, can't wait to see it hit 100+mph on video!!

      Funny enough I did basically the same since getting back into the hobby a little over a year ago. First an X-Maxx, then a TRX4 kit, now I'm working on an infraction. It will have the MMX8S/1520 combo though. Maybe next a UDR.

      80 mph at best with gearing that's not very useful and overheats the motor asap.

      Yea a new body and stiffen the rear shocks and lower the front a arm droop screws to rake the car and make the front just off the ground with the rear higher. If not, it’ll catch air and turn into an airplane at around 105mph. Don’t ask me how I know :)

      @@neilmandude I have worked in heavy industry my entire adult life around a lot of large electric motors, when you get up into the 20 horsepower range the motor shafts are typically around 3/4 in diameter or bigger, because they would snap under the power if they were smaller. Not to mention a 20 horsepower industrial motor weighs around the 200 ish pound mark, but this motor that literally fits in the palm of your hand is supposed to somehow have the same power? How in the world can you put 20 horsepower through that tiny motor shaft, not to mention if this thing really had 20 horsepower that would be five horsepower per tire, I can't see how any part of the drivetrain would hold up to that, my Ford 8N tractor only has 28 horsepower., I would like to see some real horsepower numbers, not just saying this many watts equals this much horsepower. Horsepower needs to be measured at the wheels or at the very least the motor shaft.
