Personaly I'd say that the gears (tranmision) is going to bite the dust in the Tyco. I'd try a custom made trannsmision.

i think if your friend is going to do that it should be for drag racing or something that doesn't involve turning

Yea I doubt that thing has any jumping power. Once it comes down its toast. Overall I dont think this fast trax is not a good build.:eek:

sorry i do not understand ,your buddy did this to a fast traxx ,?????


no he took the twin drives from the fast trax and mounted them under a bandit truck, wired the motors so they would turn the same way, it was so fast it would run with a losi xx with a stock motor
