Nice work! Do you have any problems with the front axle rotated forwards?

Body is made by Bolink. Getting hard to find though. No real problems with the axle rotated since it does not handle the steering duties! Sean |

That's hot! The body looks a lot like the Parma Tundra body. |

Cubman, I had used the shorter of the two links for the uppers on the front. Didnt work out too well. Swapped out to the longer ones I had and thats how it ended up when I took the photos. After that photo, I adjusted both the upper and lower links. The axle isnt exactly flat but it is way better than in the photo. Sean |

Oopsie. I knew it was one of the crappy body manufacturers. Guess I had a 50/50 chance. Dan is right its the parma tundra body. Thanks Dan |

I don't get how that thing will steer that way. Weither the servo is on the axle or not the tires still need to raise the truck to turn. Plus you'll hammer that tierod into a pretzel. Other than that very nice work. Oh and forget about the bedsides. It looks better without them. I thought about making some for the truggy be decided against it.

If you see above post youll read that I changed the pinion/ axle angle after that photo was taken. I also have a jr 8611 steering servo, somewhere around 300 oz/in torque. It has no problem steering. Oh Thanks for changing the avtar brett. |
