Ran my brushless DT03 today, this thing scoots!

I did end up having a ball connecter come off later in the run but that's only the second breakdown since I built this originally in 2019 (the chassis snapped in half once)

My collection of Groms!

I love driving these small guys around. The Mojave and bug bodied Typhon are BLX models and they rip so hard and just don't break. I also brushless swapped that truck bodied NASCAR and its a blast.

My Gorgon Grom arrived last night, time for a group picture

The Granite in the center was a impulse purchase soon after it launched and I got hooked on the platform.

First run with my Quirkhopper!

Nothing crazy just a 13t motor, ball bearings, and some on-road tires. I'm very happy with this thing, anymore power and it would hard to drive lol

Did a little test fit of my Quirkhopper

Stuck at work when I want to finish my kit lol. I used a 13t motor and ball bearings for the build. The wheels are from R31 House, I bought them years ago and am happy to finally have a use for them. Eventually I'll get some oil filled shocks but for now it's on the stock friction shocks

Tempted to get a Gorgon on sale. From videos it seems to be able to do wheelies much easier and is easier to flip. If you have both is the difference worth it?

I have a Granite, Typhon BLX, Mojave BLX, and two NASCARs so I do love the Groms.

Also got some C-hubs since they were on sale and a bearing kit. I have a 13t motor I plan on using for some pep

It's a little bigger than I expected but from my initial look and a quick run in my room I'm really happy with this little guy so far. I'll probably set up some cones for a small little rip in the driveway after work today.

Even for just being brushed it seems to have some good pep. I won't know until I give it proper run but it feels a little faster than my Micro B and Micro T. The shocks also feel great I may need to build a little ramp
