i fully charged the battery, drove it about a block away from me, then full speed back to me, i dont know how fast this thing is since even after a block its steel gaining speed, in fact when it came back past me the left front wheel was bareley touching the road and the right front wheel was not even spinning, it was off the ground just bareley.
lo gear runs its still probally twice as fast as stock, theres a build up of loose gravel and dirt on the pavement at the intersection in front of my house and in lo gear it throws rooster tails about 2 foot long or longer!
planning on changing the radio to the fm variety, and the servo saver too, i think the slower turning speeds may help in the barrel roll dept. honestly i havent had this much fun with an r/c since i was a kid! the battery was still going strong after 15 minutes but was real hot, i may change to the lipo maybee it may run a bit cooler.
the radio im using now i think will work ok in the scorpion since theres a bit more suspension travel, im thinking of using another castle creations esc in it too, and i seen a 15t motor i think will be allright in it, i like the lipo 7.2v idea for sure, but what exactly does the gear reduction you mention consist of and where do you get it?
as far as converting a rough r/c over, its probally the best thing because in my case im definateley glad i didnt use my best bandit body, this ones taking on a few scratches already, in fact im thinkin i may need to take the chrome front bumper off now before the next crash does
