A little update. I had a Vekta explosion in my basement? Blew the truck apart to go thru the diffs and add a couple upgrades that I've had for some time now.
It's crazy how realistic the rear end is to regular trucks.
Both front and rear diff cups are billet and strong AF. I like how the sun gear is retained with a bolt compared to just resting on a pin like my Losi. Going with 1M rear and 500K front diff fluid.
Also got the body panels all cleaned up. I think I'm going with paint also(happy Doug???). Got the panels mocked up on the cage so I can come up with a design. Think I'm going with metallic copper and pewter/pearl white. Wish me luck?

I would of most likely picked up that 50cc used one w/ pipe for 1300- from RCMAX if I knew earlier.

If anyone sees a used one come up for sale let me know. (40,46, 50)
I see Bartolone is releasing a 40 soon. Someone in the Vetka FB Owners group seems to already have one. That might be an option if the price is right.

Z posted that 50 along with the 65 I got at the same time. I knew they wouldn't last so I scooped up the 65. The Barty will prob be sick. I'll keep my eye opened for you?

I'd get an rcmax. While the bartolone will be good im sure, rcmax will still be better. They have titanium pipes , they ha e custom cylinders (bartolone is still stuck with scooter cylinders), custom cranks. Ect. They might cost most but I'd think they are better
