very nice! I am curious to if it was ready to run or not.

I have put new metal bearings in my little toy to replace the crap, loose plastic ones and my new gears came yesterday. Those made a huge change even on half battery life. Total money in my litle project including the hummer, less than $50.

Sweet!! Larry, did you build it from the ground up or did it come complete? Total price? Thanks!

ARTR $249
Novak motor and ESC (Brake unit) $109
Fubatub radio with two cheap servos $53
Battery and charger $40
My total was $494 after tax.

I had to put the motor, ESC and servo on the truck and program the ESC.
I will up grade to a split battery pack over the front end and a metal high speed, high tq servo at a later date. Plus add wheel weights.

I played with this thing for hours last night.

You can buy a RTR that has everything just add batteries for $259. It has plastic links but is a great unit and you can upgrade the links and any thing elese at a later date.
