Already got made fun of by some teenagers with more fragile egos and less expendable income than me.

Could’ve just asked and I would’ve let them try!

Axial SCX24 Base Camp for those interested.

    I don’t think it would work with a buggy anyway, it only works with rock crawlers because they have locked diffs.

    • Not with anywhere near the control as a locking dif, for sure.

      I’ve got a LSdiff on mine and one of the times it was sideways, I managed to get it to wiggle a bit in my direction and then it caught a bit of gravel just right, spun once or twice, and flopped onto its back. I wasn’t REALLY trying to control it well, since I was already walking toward it. I’m sure someone with more experience could get it to move where they want it. Again, just not as well as a locking diff

        I used to have an HPI Savage that I could flip over just by hammering the throttle. The down side was that happened pretty much any time you gave it throttle so all it did was flip.
