thats awesome man, haha

i want one!

if you had to guess, and a rough estimate would be fine, how much do you think it would cost me to build or buy something like what you've got?

-Erik <--- understands if you don't want to post $$, a PM would be fine

Glad you like it.

Total was about $300

Now I want to take it over behind the Land Rover dealer here in Wilmington and run the offroad course behind it

Can you get a gear reduction kit for that? Looks pretty kick ass though.

It's geared about as low as I can go with it..
but I can replace the 27 turn motor with a
55 turn lathe motor.
That will make it slower, but it'll have a lot more torque

I bought this one:

Paid $84 for a LOW geared (all metal) tranny, already had motor, and electronics, and charger. Just depends what you want when it is all done. Mine is no good for speed, but it will CRAWL in the rocks which is what I wanted.

Search on ebay, r/c crawlers are pretty abundant there.

GEAR REDUCTION

You can get a gear reduction from tower hobbies, I bought one for my project. The air plane guys have been using them for a while.
