Looks like fun man. These large scale rigs are just so much fun to wheel and way easier to work on.

Thanks Alex!

Man, that sure did look higher from where I was standing. I am pretty sure it dropped off to the right of where Brandon was trying to catch my truck...

Yeah, this truck just goes anywhere you point it. I've got a few changes in the works....

No worries on the goodies Tommy. I'm in no hurry.

You could also look into the Losi LST2 starter wand as a transmission.

Sorry, replied to a post 8 pages back. Tapatalk is acting up for me. Someone mentioned the gearbox and motor cause overheating in that small engine compartment.

Ahh...haha! There's an electric fan that cools off the trans and motor. It works perfectly!

A few updates:


This new axle is only a hair wider than the WK setup:


(front is still WK)


This setup gives better link and shock geometry and will give much better steering on the front.
