yeah but i have a line that will kill a tlt becuase you need a exact tire placement or you fall into a 9 foot deep creek. oh well hear is my basic start- tires cut chassis hooked up and started on- the board and battery on board- and yes that is painters tape i am using i forgot to get electrical tape at the store.

I don't get whats so hard about this challenge. the price cap should be about half that or less. for $300 you should build something hobby level. both you are acting like the price cap is like only $20 for mods. both rigs look kinda crappy. Just do wrecker's buildup plus a good servo and shave where the old steering unit used to be. you'd be under $300 and you'd have an unstoppable nylint. |
