Any word on gearing options ? Sliding motor mount like most cars or in true Tamiya style, a torque and top speed option ? It is my understanding that a brushless motor can handle less gearing options better as opposed to a conventional brushed motor.

Big Squid RC has a weekly monster truck column on their website. Plenty of good info on racing and bashing setups. https://www.bigsquidrc.com/category/columns/monster-truck-madness/

I've wondered about this conversion with a Landfreeder shell

How about Jim's Trucking or Jim's Monster Trucking.....

I used to have a m03 that I drove everywhere you shouldn't ie skateparks, bmx jumps and rc off road tracks. Loved it. Need another one.

For me I dig the 'water pumpers'. What's a water pumper ? That bad *** red rig in the foreground of the last pic from Mongoose1983. It's basically a hot rod for the sand with a front mounted water cooled motor and they pre-date the vw based dune buggy.

It seems Tamiya in Australia has a new distributor. Can only be a great thing for the brand as I can't say I heard anything good about the last one.

With whitened teeth too

Pretty sure it was mentioned on rcc forum that Axial is moving warehouses in China hence limited to no stock.

Looks fantastic 👍

I bought a rere Holiday Buggy recently. My only upgrades are bearings, lipo friendly esc and a 21t motor. I've thought about oil shocks and better tires but I kind of like the 'on edge' driving feel with the pogos and semi plastic tires.

Loved the video !

Great job !

Looking forward to the build.

There's mention of it as a rumor on Big Squid RC main page which is pretty big considering. ...
