description  Yesterday, my brother and I headed out to the trails again. I took my Land Cruiser out to see how it drives with the new ESC. And I have to say it is a big improvement. Before I had a Novak in it and driving downhill was terrible since it just rolled away. Now though, with a Servonaut, it is much more controlable and easier to drive. And it climbs surprisingly welll too. The weather was pretty bad and dark, so the photos didnīt turn out too good. It also looked like there could be a thunderstorm any minute but luckily we stayed dry.

Thanks. Much appreciated. @mongoose1983 Maybe Iīll do some inner fenders for it. I donīt like how I can see through it either.

Looks excellent! Really good. Would you consider making inner covers for the fenders. Maybe that will make the Toyota look even better. Although YES, your Land cruiser looks beautiful!

great work, those pictures are as good as it gets!

Thanks. The color is actually the body material. So it wonīt get scratched up. It can hold itself in a hill, but thatīs mostly down to the gear ratio. But the Servonaut actually holds it better when driving down a hill. The Novak just let it roll free like if there would be no motor in it at all.

nice colour choice always good to see trailing shots. love the down hill. does the servonaut hold it on that hill when in neutral?
