thanks man, I hadn't even thought of that lol I'll see what I can come up with, should be able to make it work I have made worm drives before, I used one for an automatic tilt tray truck which is what I was originally thinking for this build but I decided against it.

Love this truck! Looks great. I'm looking forward to more updates.

I thinkbit would do good with a worm gear then when or if you do a scale video with it you can run better footage at least thats how I see it

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.
I mocked up all the electronics and took it for a test drive today goes pretty good but still a few creases I need to iron out. Very fun can't wait to really get the tires dirty lol

The chassis rails are from a tamiya king hauler I had to make custom cross members to make it slightly wider to allow the scx skid plate to fit, and the leaf springs are from an OG bruiser so they are very stiff that's why I needed to make the drop shackles and the axles are the wide cast alloy RC channel ones. I ended up needing to chop about an inch of the end of the chassis rails so that the bed would fit on. If you like I can post some more detailed pics of how it's all set up.
