Wasn't sure exactly where to put this as the truck started life as a Ruckus. I loved the truck in stock form. I already knew it wasn't gonna be a fast truck, but wanted something that would be about the same as my kids's 1/18 Dromidas.
I found the ecx trucks at my lhs. I have always kinda stayed away from the cheaper rc's, that was up until my kids got theirs and I seen how good they were.
So i picked up both a Ruckus and a Torment. I like the Ruckus more at first cause of the monster truck style. It was fun. I took it to the skate park where i live and repeatedly beat it again and again. lol.
Though it didn't take long to want more speed. So i started using a Turnigy 2s 1700 mah lipo. That helped out a bit, but was still kinda slow.
One day at the LHS I decided to take the plunge and pick up my new setup.
I than proceeded to tear the truck down, shim the diffs, and added 10k fluid to the rear diff, and 20k to the front diff. And added a Spektrum rx/tx.
I have taken it out a few times now and have had a ton of fun with it. Its quite a bit faster than stock, motor barely even gets hot after doing a lot of full throttle pulls, esc stays cool.
i have thought about attempting to run 3s in it, but pretty sure I'd completely destroy the drivetrain. Lol.
