I would raise that puppy up another 5",..attach the weed-eater blades and start cutting grass with it around my neighborhood with it,..That would be awesome,...lol ;)

Thats a cool beetle,..Howd he do it??!! Curious to see pics of the internals,..

You can buy them almost ready to run, just add servos and radio gear. They arn't cheap but they are wild.

Sweet video. That thing looks pretty crazy.

I have an old weedeater laying around that may become a R/C project. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They are only 2wd though right? Still pretty insane, that thing seems to have a hell of a powerband in it, just rapped right up and tore its way up. Maybe I need to look into something big like that.

Yes they come in 2wd, but there is a 4wd conversion coming out for them soon. I am thinking of putting on in mime. They do do very well with only the 2wd, it will go almost any were.

Here is another clip I have, and they estimate top speed at 40 to 45 miles per hour

That thing climbed pretty good for 2wd. Pretty sweat.

[badboy2]

do u need to tune those engines too?cuz i never tuned my lawn mower hehhe

[ofnaguy]

so far I haven't messed with the settings at all, and it runs great (less tuning then the nitro). I raced my buddy's buggy with a hyper 8 port. and it was a neck and neck thing going on. We got video of it so when I edit it I will post it up.
