Very sweet. Really looking forward to seeing how the t-case idea works. If it works good and money permits ill run it in my scale build-up.

Chassis pics. Everything looks cluttered because I was trying to keep it all as low as possible in order to have the seats in there. Also the battery is split, 4 on one side, and 2 on the same side that the motor is on, trying to balance its weight as much as possible.

Works great, the first rock I drove up to is sort of my tester I do with all my trucks, well I have gotten better at building them and all my comp style trucks go right up. Amazingly this heavy *** tlt had no problem either!! I would say the t case helps with the throttle control as well, mostly because its even slower. But my biggest thing about it, there are so many rotating parts, and reductions that the truck can sit on a slope and the resistance of the motor acts as a brake, it wont move! If you give it a little push of course it will.

Thanks Mike! Too bad you live so far away man, an outing with the ol' jeep and my new fj would be awesome!

PS: you need to send me some pics of what you have done to that thing! My bro was asking about it the other day, I told him it was in good hands
