My twin force is pissing me off, I can't drive it for more than like 3 minutes or give it some throttle before something pops off or breaks. BAH

I was doing a very simple maneuver uphill, and without any real large amount of throttle the dogbone somehow popped out and locked up the steering.

I just spent a $190 on two servos for the clod.  Should definitly be worth it I hope. With these super trucks it seems to only way to go is big. I stuck the one I ordered before in the TLT, 333oz turns the TLT like nothing. My bro liked it so much he ordered one for his. Thats $400 we spent on 4 Hitec servos over the past month. I hope these are the last servos we will have to buy ever. Just got tired of messing around. 10 GWS servos $18 each $180 2 CEN Skylon servos $35 for two 2 Futaba 3305 servos $70 for two XTM racing X-175 $39 2 TowerPro servos $35 Hitec 5645mg $0 Thats $359 wasted on servos that went wrong over the past 2 years not including shipping or tax.:-P Buying some TTR CVDS for the front as well as the rear, I have the steering power might as well use it to the max. I ordered some Losi LST wheel adaptors that should fit them perfectly. Going to practice this whole comp thing this weekend. I want to be sure I have the rules right this time. Quote:

I still have one here in the shop. Guess we will eventually have to machine some delrin or alum ones. Took alot of effort to break that one we had in the vice. That plastic was sort of funny though. My guess is its those wide wheel adaptors and oversize tires. But, you already knew that. |

Added full test panels, I think this is the design of the panels I will go with. Final panels will be lexan. I am going to test it out on the rocks tomarrow, and take some pictures.  |

Even if you could, RC4WD doesn't ship stuff out that quick, something would have to be back ordered. I don't think I will have my beadlocks in time for the comp... I will probably just run the moabs, or add some weight to my wheels that are on the scale truck.
