T-Bit
 
Got this yesterday, went to Aggie Bonfire, then skipped the after activities to work on this til the wee hours...

$119 for the Bind n Drive. Used my M8 TX that is already used for 4 other vehicles as well.
$15 for a 300 mah lipo (7.4v). Plus it comes with a 180 mah NiMH (4.8v) and NiMH porable charger (runs off 8AA included).
$5 for 4 deans micro plugs.
$7 for 2x track packs. These are cardboard pieces probably 12"x15" of countoured crawling terrain. LHS gave me 2 for price of 1.

- Nearly double capacity lipo mounted on top of servo.
- Tranny flip. Motor weight is now front biased.
- ESC/RX relocated to rear axle using custom lexan plate. Had to lengthen servo wire.
- Needs chassis brace(s) since all the plastic mounts are removed.
- Want shorter shocks and to angle them in more.
- Body trimmed where necessary.

Current:

Looks good. Any ideas on where to get the shorter shocks?

check out my thread, you can take the end caps and shock caps off and put them on micro t rear shocks... not sure how it performs yet...

BTW i love your idea of flipping the tranny to make the motors weight more towards the front... i might steal that :)

Thanks. I had no idea yet what to do about shorter shocks. I'll take a look...

Yeah, flip that trans. I just reversed my Thr Ch on radio.
