    Hey Nolan I really dig your videos man…. You’ve progressed well! I have a few slash’s and my two wheel drive is the most fun…. The others are like point and shoot and they just go where ya want them to. I kept my 2wd with the 12 turn motor and it won’t blow the beadlock tires off. It feels slow but my lap times are better because I don’t overpower the track conditions.
