that's great,  we have a ton of fun with them at our meets.     you'lll want to do a steering mod on it to get the most out of it,  especially if you are crawling with it.

also you are more than welcome to use the gallery here to post your pics....   :D

I beleive that rcboyz.com has the bearing kit for these,  seach for venom mini giant..

Keep your eyes on ebay. I picked up a bearing kit, motor, and wheely bar for about $15-20 as I recall. If you have the patience you can find good deals.
