Agreed! 2wd is not dead fortunately, I hope this platform sells well. Also hope everything is going OK for you with all that is going on right now.

Nice review, decided to order the blue gorgon without batteries and charger, looks like a fun truck to have as a backyard bashers.

@razorrc and others: Any tuning recommendations? With the shocks being on the soft side (which gives it a lot of body roll - realistic for a monster truck) it seems to diff out when turning (the inner wheel lifts of the ground and it diffs out). Would removing the grease from the diff, and going with a heavier diff oil help? or is it better to go with heavier oil on the shocks to reduce the body roll? Combination of both?

Thanks in advance!

Shocks are fine, I would try 10k in the diffs. They have grease in them that needs cleaning out first. I tried 20k, but it’s too thick IMO.

After looking at the manual I couldn't tell how the spur gear and top shaft were held in place? Do they just push in and stay there?

The bearing keeper in the spur cover is what keeps shaft in...make sure ya bearings is grease so they don't lock up and burn up the plastic cover
