Looks cool!, but im sorry to tell you that you will not be able to modify this trucks gear ratio's and highly doubt that you will able to mod the suspension either. If you really like that body, maybe you can put it on another truck that you can work on at a later date. Kyosho , tamiya , HPI , these are some of the brands of cars/trucks that you build up from scratch, and then can buy parts to upgrade or modify, and are also more easly modified with some basic skill and knowledge. Spare parts are more readly available at your local hobby shop too. It all depends on how much you want to spend and how far you want to go into the hobby. Hope this helps.:)

Its Not going to win any Speed records..
It Powered by a 32 Turn 550 Sized Fan Cooled Motor (Same motor you find in a 7.2Volt Cordless drill)

Heres a Quick Vid of it Tackling some rough Terrain.. Vid has poor sound..
YouTube - Bonzer Climbing (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=mg5By1m3sb8)

Top Speed would be around 25- 30kph.
The Stock Battery Last 7mins but a Charger and Battery upgrade will see the Battery last for as long as 25mins...

They are best the Bang for Buck..

A Similiar Priced RadioShack Truck at $130 cant be rebuilt and can't be modified.
So at $150 there not too bad.. You just can't expect them to compete with a $600 E-maxx. or E-Savage..
