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:    Here is phase 1 for size reference.  |

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  |
