seems like there are alot of questions about the micros?! alot of people are afraid to take the leap and buy stuff cuz its micro... but i have played around with my trail trekker (it was my first crawler/scale thing) and found what i think is a pretty awesome trail/crawling set up and would be happy to help anyone out. i have gone through a few motors... i burt out the stock one and then switched to a motor from radioshaq, it sucked just like the factory one.... after asking around at lhs (local hobby shops) i saw a xceleron bl system with an 8750kv motor included! i jumped on it! only cost me 50$ with tax!!!!!! 
when switching to this system you will need a new rx/tx set up . for that i jumped to the flysky gt3b. worked perfectly, awesome radio! next i saw at hobby people a "carbon" gear servo, meant to be really light weight and really strong! only 9$ with tax! SOLD! the gear coming out of the servo has a greyish graphite look to it. (will be in pics below) "thumbsup" after i wanted a battery that could fit in the chassis. i found lipos 2s 350mah "hobby people" for 5$ a piece and they run the truck for about 45 min with a lot of throttle! :twisted: other then that i have a chopped and glued body, bb's in the front wheels, i have bb's glued to the inside of every rim! no foams in the tires. cut every other nub on the tires. "id re-tractor" winch mod, and custom bumpers. this rig can seriously go anywhere... i mean anywhere! i feel like where ever my 1/10 scale can go so can the trail trekker! (sure you have to use a different line but its still awesome!)
the brushless system is perfect... first off it can out walk you :lmao: like it goes 6mph... maybe 7 i have it geared with the smallest pinion it comes with. it has great low speed control and i havent seen anything wrong with my worm gears, they look brand new! it doesnt break driveshafts, no stripped gears, NOTHING! in an estimate at least 50 packs have been run through it! AT LEAST! i have 3 of these lipos and i typically run it for 2 packs at a time. climbing is super easy and you have wheel speed to get up hills of deep sand!
