nice work on the chassis! are you getting good travel with the front suspension before you have motor/servo clearance issues? i've been thinking of doing something like this except with a frame mounted servo.

Thanks KHJ9404!
-No issues per the motor and servo hitting. I made sure there was room.
-Travel is ok, not the greatest.
-I was going to do the frame mounted servo but since I narrowed the TLT's I was thinkig there would have been a lot of bump steer due to the steering link being so short. :P

Why are you using a RC4WD R2 transmission and a RC4WD Killer transfer? Couldn't you just move the R2 down at the Killer transfer's location and just use the R2 for 4 wheel drive?

I think you might be a bit confused on how a transfer case works, you still get 4WD(I currently don’t have the rear driveline hooked up because the rear axle isn’t mounted yet) but then you get to have the motor somewhere else. I am running the R2/transfer case to get more weight up front(a bit more scale too J ) and to make more room for the future interior.

Haha - mine at least has steering (may not have any other electronics, but it does have steering!)

Yeah I'll be there - best scale comp of the year

[justinart24]

Yeah, should be a blast!

[justinart24]

Updates...
-Got rear axle mounted
-Servo mounted and links made (Will Make sleeves for theh threaded rod later)
-Got almost all the wiring done

Well the flex is too bad, hope the weight I put in the tires later will help out with that.

To do list...too much to list.
