Ok I got a steal on this. Just out of box ran 2 times in house to chase dog Tamiya Brat. Paintjob is so purty to. Matches perfect with custom rims. It
comes RTR with bat,esc,rx, and tx. Im going to swap them if they are cheap to the propulse 80amp esc and that will help me alot for a nice hot motor.
Changing the uppers on it to traxxas cut uppers and itll be bullet proof with a locked diff. Not a full offroader but a offroad racer which is good enough for
now.

Well on that note of sarcasm let me say this. The propulse ESC is all ill be using not the radio gear if you actualy read MORON. A 80amp ESC can handle a
realy nice motor very well. Ill still be using the rx and tx that comes with it along with the servo it comes with and all. Remember it is a kit car and the
guy already built it so servo and all in it is a nice strong one just want a better ESC if its a cheap one. The thing will be getting another body for a
beater and the one he is sending with it is to purty to screw up let me get pics.

I figured it would be ok if it drew less than 80. 80 is a heck of alot of amps for one motor to draw. But ill take your word.

what do i have against everything radioshack made? hmmm lets see,
almost every thing they make is toy grade the xmods had tons of FACTORY defects in the first generation the propulse is a rip-off of the very successful rc18, but mega-tech rather than radioshack craftily avoided patent issues radioshack would rather help you with a cellphone than sell you any electronic parts they discontinue almost every model they spew out, very quickly FEMA: Fancy English Muffin Association |

I agree with the phone thing. I get looked at stupid when I go into mine to buy electronic pars (caps, resistors, chargers, solder etc....) but the propulse
elecs are actualy very good for what they are. People actualy buy the propulse just to throw it away and keep the electronics. Im going to try it out. I
mean if I fry it what do I have use for it either way. My propulse striped the very cheap dogbones and differential outdrives the first week I had it
.
Thats getting fixed though dremel, JBweld, PVC and some home made dogbones and if the PP elecs work in the brat then the brats cheaper elecs will go in the PP.
But its a very nice brat. itll be another week-2 before deal is complete I had some paypal issues but I talked to paypal and got it sorted so we have to restart the transfer and card confermation process. But he is paitent and kind and once I get the truck ill get some pics of my own of it then it in action then after action.
