I like my mini giant.
I have installed bearings and I run it on the venom 7 cell pack and it runs for 30 to 45 minutes on a charge.

you may have some binding with the nylon bushings if your still running on those.When I installed the bearings I found one red nylon bushing that was locked to the shaft on a gear in the center gearbox.The bearings are worth the money.

Yep, the VMG is a blast - make sure you get the Hex pack, bearings, and wheelie bar though for maximum enjoyment. I just got the Fireball, but have yet to try it out - should be pretty awesome! :D

would big block motors for micro RS4's and Mini T's fit in it? I'm planning on an axel mounted servo and a mini T pack in the middle of the chassis but ill probly go with the hex pack.

so when you say the middle of the chassis you mean above the gearbox? if so then i would reconsider if you want a crawler. putting it there will raise the cog and might cause it to flip to easily. just my $0.02

ive seen it done and seen video of the truck running and it dont flip and the vertical cog doesnt change it will move forward in the chassis where the steering servo sits normaly
