|  Tamiya Light Armored Vehicle Finally got the trials rig up and running. So far I've only installed a 55t lathe motor. Upcoming mods will be Hitec 645mg turned into winch and full ball bearings. I dug these old Pro-line Dirt Hawg tires, for 1/10 scale buggies, out of the R/C pile and modified the rims to work on these outer axles. These tires work great, but aren't legal for comps.

| if you're set on the round material I'd use some light cable like bicycle brake cable. |

| Took the LAV for a swim the other day and she didn't like it very much.  I figured I needed to make it a little more water/mud resistent. So, I modded one of the plastic cases that the digital Hitec servos come in. Everything tucks in nicely, I just need to seal it up a little better. |

The front bumper is just a 1/2" X 1" .062 thick strip of alum. I just drilled a hole to tie it to chassis and bent it up to hold the front lower A-arm "wire" in place. | |

As far as lifting it goes, you're limited by the stock dogbones. If you try to lift the vehicle it puts the dogbones at a bad angle in the drive cups, therefore it'll bind under acceleration. I'm sure the 2 motor thing COULD work, there would be alot of fab work involved though. If you want 2 motors the Tamiya Wild Dagger is set-up like that. | |
