Starting the Max-D upgrade. Very similar to the Grave Digger with a few different parts. First thing that needs to be taken care of are the transmission gears and housing.

This was a surprise... I've run this truck2x..2! All on stock 27t brushed motor driving around the driveway. You think bringing this up to Axial will achieve anything?
