Well it’s been a long time since I did a build. Hopefully the moderators will remember me and allow me to continue 🤔 I’m not a fan of squash the vegetable in any from but Oranges, that’s a different matter. It is by far the best fruit, flavour, juice and colour in the world ,IMOHO, and when teamed up with a bit of Tamiya blue well what is there not to like. I’m not quite sure what direction this build is going to go but the body will be Metallic Orange, it will have oil filled shocks along with carbon fibre shock towers, and it will be brushless/lipo powered. I have a box full of wheels and tyres so many combinations may be tried. I will probably build it with 4 wheel steer just for the badword of it but other than that let the Jaffa juices flow!!!!!……… edit: steel pinions of course 😃

Hi all, I'm relatively new to rc kit building, my first was just last summer (Lunchbox) and had lots of fun with it. For my 2nd kit, I was originally leaning toward a Monster Beetle until I read about all the problems with its gear box. But I also read that the MIP super ball differential set might alleviate these issues, though it sounds like it still could have problems. And believe me, I'm not technically capable enough to handle constant repairs and modifications. After the Squash Van release this past winter, I thought I had found my new 2nd kit. But surprisingly, there hasn't been enough discussions about SV to convince me it's a good kit (it doesn't seem to be very popular), and it also sounds like it has tipping-over problems. All those gears also concern me. I should note here that I use my Lunch Box mostly out in the wilds (beach, dirt trails) so I'd like my 2nd rig to also be able to handle rugged and dirty terrain. So I'd like to put it to a community debate: MB or SV for a newbie's second build? Pros vs. cons for each?
