Thanks for posting about those Injora wheels. I've been looking for an inexpensive wheelset for my Miller Motorsports truck, and will probably score a set of those.

Go for it man! They're super nice, they feel more like a set of $50-$60 wheels rather than $36. The only complaint I have is the shipping time. They ship straight from China, and it took a little over 2 weeks to arrive. They did get here eventually though, and nothing appeared to be damaged or tampered with. Best $36 I've ever spent.

Took it out for a test run at one of the local state parks with my parents, and it performed extremely well. I probably oughta mess with the suspension links a bit more, since I can definitely tell that they're still off by a bit. Other than that, it was definitely a fun day.
I've got a new brushless system coming in for it soon, I'm definitely excited for it. I've never actually had a brushless truck before, so I'm very interested to see how different it is from the normal brushed motor/ESC that comes in these. I will say that I'll be putting this truck (and all of my other projects) on hold after this comes in, as I've got other priorities I should probably be focusing on (I'll be getting my license soon and should probably save for a real truck instead of putting everything into my tiny trucks, lol). I miiight go for some new steel high clearance suspension links though... (I'm so tired of aluminum, I've got half a million metallic specks in each of my hands from handling the links from this truck to paint them).

My new motor/ESC finally came in, super excited to get em installed.

Got everything hooked up, now I'm just waiting on my EC3 connectors to come in. Other than that, it's ready to go (except for the pinion, I haven't put that in just yet).

Finally got the truck up to Singer Hobbies and had them solder a new IC3 connector on. Gonna get the pinion installed and take it for a spin when I get home.
I did get a bit nostalgic while I was there though...

I finally took it out for a spin, and good lord this thing rips. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect a brushless truck to move this fast. Does wheelies on 2s, and drags the rear bumper for 2 seconds on 3s. It does crawl really nice in low gear though, a lot better than it did. I just need to pick up a programmer to put a drag brake on it and it should be good to go. Maybe I should do the brushless conversion on some of my other trucks too... (this is my first brushless if it wasn't obvious lol).
