I have one although I have left my ST on the shelf for sometime so its never seen dirt. But if you read the BCE thread,guys love the chassis and suggest it over the stock. Other then that,I havent put my truck on the diet. Its a pig but with a strong enough motor,it will still move like a rabbit.

My choice is the BCE Back to top Author Message jonski Joined: 05 May 2009 Posts: 20 Location: USA Posted: Wed Jan 13, 2010 9:28 am    Post subject: darkbee, what motor mount is that in the picture you posted...looks nice.
