Yeah they are. Looks like a nice build too. Oh, you aren't going to want to use a 55 turn motor, much less a 65 turn. They don't have the wheelspeed to clean out the tires good. One popular motor is to use the e-maxx 550 motor. They are really good for mudding. But if it isn't going to be just a mudder, then maybe a 35 turn integy.

Its gona be a mudder and rock crawler. I will prolly use a 65t integy, and just have diffrent pinion gears. Ill proll have a 12 tooth and either the stock 24 tooth or somethin like a 19 or 20 tooth. And to keep it clean im gona make some fender wells and keep all the elactronics away from the mud. And the electronics will of coarse be waterproofed.

Ok. Will you need that much torque on this truck? I use a 55 turn on my crawler and i have plenty. I think it is a bit overkill and you could end up breaking something important. But it is your truck, that is just what i would do. What type frame is it going to be anyway?

woops i had a brain fart. I ment a 45t or 55t. I want wheelspeed and some torque. So idk. Its to early in this build to worry bout that stuff.

I like the Jeep.

Your dogs are going to be bummed out when the dog food scare is over and they have to go back to non-human food. My dog eats Wellness which hasn't been impacted by the recalls.

Anyway, back to RC.
