Little up date for today got the power plant installed Summit 2 Speed and a 775 titan for now. Will be playing with 3s and 4s might possibly pick up a HH Brxl and play with more volts.




Also tried a first shot at the front end

That front end didn't work out to good so redid the front end. Also going to redo the Transmission location to move it forward.

Turn them over so the outside tire doesn't just fold under and you'll thank me next time you drive it.


Rig looks good, are you going to keep the "engine" or cut it out and slap a scale version in there?

I need to add a bunch of bars to my TCS chassis that fofftarded II is built with. Then I'll start another from scratch to join the one off tube chassis folks such as yourself.

Keeping the engine. Im having a guy on here paint up a nice body for it. The body we're using for mockup will get a shitty paintjob to bash with. This is our first wraith axled rig I wanted to build another big ass yota but these axles are WAY to wide for a yota body IMO
