Default 1\6th h2 sut build

i found this newbright h2 sut for 5 bucks, and now i have another project on my hands. I took the hummer apart and mocked it up with my t-maxx suspension cause hummers should be 4 wheel independant. I want to go electric but am wondering what tranny i'll need i'm hoping to use my wheely king trans but i'm worried about the speed and torque any one run this combo. and i'm wondering how i can lower the body on the frame and not have the tire's hit. and how to wire my 8 led's to my 6 volt reciver pack

I dont think the Wk tranny will hold up to a 1:6 scale build unless you have all metal gears inside

Humvees have independant suspension but Hummers have truck axles and a truck frame.

yeah H1s are indy front and rear.
H2s and H3s have solid rear indy front.

i know the h2 is basicly a suburban with a diffrent body but to wear the hummer name it should be indy all around in my opinion. it's just mocked up right now i'm debating letting the kids drive my other truck and turning this nitro since it'll mostlt be t-maxx any way but i'm still workin on lowering the body to the frame and not rubbing to much a little is fine and how to wire the 8 cheap led lights it's got in it

Don't feel bad, I just picked up a Nikko 1/6'th H2 that will get a T-Maxx running gear switched over to electric. I've never seen a Hummer this big before so it should be interesting.
