Long term plan is that I will put a bigger 6 in it and a 2 spd rear out of a binder Loadstar as I have heard the gears allow higher cruising speeds - but for now, I would like to get it so that it is self motivated.[[ GO W/ THE 261 FOR A REPLACEMENT MOTOR ]] I hate pushing / pulling dead trucks around.
