Lookin good bud, like the rear leafs

You should check out my dually build.

Looks good so far David. Just so you know the idea for front leafs will have to be ditched on my Silverado, I tried pretty much every steering setup possible with zero positive results...:( Any more pics on this thing or did it contribute to the tow rig?

[chameleonkid]

I borrowed the front axle. So this rig is down. But don't worry Ian I'm trying to track down a parts rig so that I can do leaves in the front.

Digging up an oldy but didn't see an answer given. What is the motor you are running?

[chameleonkid]

the motor used is a GWS cn12-rxc

[Jamus]

Thanks. Being longer I assume it has much more torque than stock. In the pics it shows you running the stock battery but I looked that motor up and it says 6-7.2V in the specs. Does it run fine on the lower voltage for you? I run 1S lipos and don't really want to buy more batteries.

this motor is slower than stock on the high end. with the stock battery it has lots of torque. it gets hot too so if you have room for a heat sink it may be a good idea

Is the slower high end speed the apeal of this motor?
I would imagine if you want more torque a better way is a motor with a bigger can?
Just a guess

Hum Interesting. The appeal to this motor, simply put, is that it works. The cn12 is a higher turn than stock, (i think ) explaining why it is slower, or maybe because I do not use the proper voltage required by the cn12 specs. In any case, "a bigger can" would not fit with out heavy modification to the transmission. nor is a larger can necessary. This model truck works just the way I had intended.

this is awesome! my micro has an f-150 body on it now, but soon it will have a land rover body or a dodge ram body!
