    Radrunner 2 as a tinkering platform

    I was thinking about getting a Radrunner 2 while it is on sale. I would probably add the fenders and rack and maybe the LCD display. I dont really think I need gears or suspension fork. I was thinking it would make a good frame/platform for messing around with controller upgrades, etc. Thoughts?

    Bigger wheels better on rough terrain?
