My kid got an RB 323 for his revo. We broke it in, and it runs really
good most of the time. A couple times though, when he would punch it,
it would do some weird stumble thing, like it was starting to rev,

I hate stadium truck bodies [the bed part of the truck,] and how the wheel
wells don't match the tires,will a 18"L  stampede/e-maxx  vs. a 16"L   or so
rustler body fit?They generally are 1"Higher  [or close]  though.
