thanks, but i have decided to scrap the project because there was no possible way to hook up the steering(with what i had to work with), and i did not have some necessary parts, i did allthough made some upgrades, i'll post pics of that tommarro, i made it have 90 degree articulation!! but since it had no way to steer it then i just took it all apart and put it back together like the original one, now im gonna try to save up some money to get the brushless system, and that cool new proto type desert truck body that makes the dt look more scale.

i recommend someone that has had more experience with stuff like this and lives somewhere in the city so you could by needed parts (i live in galena, ak, the only way to get here is by plane, boat or snowmachine!, so i cant just walk up the street to a rc shop to get parts whenever i want)--- anyways, i recomend that anyone that is lookin for a little project and has a mini t, or dt to try to make one of these micro crawlers.
