Yeah as recommended get the ball diff if you can. You can then run all sorts of motors through it.
the main issue to watch out for is a slipping/grinding sound when you accelerate hard or floor the throttle. The gear diff starts to separate under...
Here is a new built Tamiya Monster Beetle I just won. This Beetle was built years ago and never run, I bought it from it's original owner and builder. It's a pretty amazing relic. The paint is not perfect, but it's decent. The only thing missing is...
