Clear unpainted body that requires specific polycarbonate paint. Expensive hobby research before you dig into it too deep. Talk to local hobby shop even if you buy online.

I can't tell you if the factory esc will take it but I put a castle creations sct combo in mine for 100 bucks and the truck handles it very well.I bought this truck just to put brushless in because of the all steel gears It def. needs a wheelie bar tho. I am trying to put a bigger pinion on it and the 48p pinions I have don't fit right, so I found Redcat racing pinions online, haven't tried them yet. I love this truck !! Have Fun !!

Yes sir!! This a nice truck the only con to it is you just can't go to your hobby store and pick up parts. Most of the time you have to order them online

my advice: stay away from this item: its a piece of cheap plastic that will be broken all the time. my truck gone to trush after few bad runs, engine stoped to start and weels and axels where broken all the time without reason. stay away from it, or else you are going to waste your money.

These are awesome toys.. i have 4 of various designs including the Marine version of this one. Replacing the copter with a new one is going to be cheaper and less of a headache ultimately unless you are a RC enthusiast and with lots of spare parts, spare time and are handy with soldering very small wires. But the best thing i can say is disassemble the thing -examining every wire.. a have fun tying to fix it.. and if it still doesn't work then make a list of the best ways to destroy the toy... (such as giving it to a 6 year old boy) film an entertaining youtube video of it's death.. and retire off the proceeds of all the youtube sales. Best of luck!

Its a clear body for a remote control truck that you can paint and put on an existing RC !

A lot faster than the stock RC toys (AirHogs "garbage") you get from Walmart/BestBuy. I don't have a speed gun but a typical city block, the truck can get to the end in less than 5 seconds. The weakest link of the truck is its rims, it cracks/chips off after some serious hard crashes. I since replaced the wheels with Team Associate RC18T rims and it lasts, can take more of a beating (still runs fine, and I run my truck weekly).

This is a good truck ended up converting mine to the brushless mamba monster 2 my experience with the traxxas motors hasn't been good

I'am thinking you believe this a remote control truck , It is a model not a motorized truck. I hope this is what you are asking about.

no sir. this is just a traxxas slash - sized body, that comes with a clear body, which needs to be painted from the underside, window masks, and decals that go on the exterior. this truck is about $375.00 new, with a brushless set up. i have one for sale if you are interested. it's ready to go. email rcrenshaw81@icloud.com if truly intersted. shipping will be on you, but it's a really good deal, and it comes with 1 cstom body, as well as orange, and black paint, for a brand new ford raptor body, the exact one you are looking at! let me know. thank you!

well yes you can and actually it can be used on any rc vehicles or a custom rc vehicles and I have one on my rc truck and it works like a charm as it should

This is hands down the strongest built truck out of the box I have owned. Do a few searches on youtube and see how guys beat this thing to a pulp and it keeps on running. You can break it but it will take a LOT more punishment than most.

I don't know about that one. I have no experience with that model of RC car. Sorry.

Chris, a number of reviews (mine included) list suggested components. The beauty of an R/C kit is that *you* get to build and customize it to suit your needs. That said, I know that the Grasshopper is aimed for beginners and beginners don't always know everything they need. You might be best served by purchasing an XB (expert build) version of a Tamiya car. The Grasshopper XB is ASIN: B000FGBME2. It comes with all you need to run it. Other brands of R/C cars call these types of cars RTR or "ready to run". If you still want to build this car and do it as cheaply as possible I suggest the following items: Futuba Attack 2DR remote ASIN: B000ZMATRC Tenergy batteries (X2) and a charger ASIN: B001BKPAR6 Highly suggest that you get a sealed ball bearing kit ASIN: B00MOD2F68 While the Grasshopper is *supposed* to ship with an electronic speed control (ESC) some vendors are pulling the ESC to sell sepertely which IMHO is dishonest. If you don't get the ESC you're supposed to I suggest this one by Neewer. ASIN: B00CIPTPRY I've been using it with my Grasshopper and it works quite well. Contrary to what Miguel stated, the car does ship with a motor. It's a type 380 which is not as fast as the more standard type 540 but is great to learn on and provides much longer battery life per charge. If/when you outgrow the 380 you can simply buy a type 540 and 18t pinion gear and upgrade your 'hopper.

Exceed rc makes a 1/8 scale gas power truck for 250. There are few extra things to buy. But the size and power is insane. Want to blow his mind try looking at that. That truck he has is pretty fast at the box. But the gas power is king. Just food for thought.

This is just a lexan body. It is not an Rc car. The chassis that it is for is mainly for slower speeds rock crawling.
