I put the ssd beadlocks on the ford, and finally had some time to test the cut 2.2 swampers. The cut really wakes these tires up!!

Been messing around with the idea for my plow truck for a while, came up with this as my prototype. I really need to get a band saw or even a cheap jigsaw! Better yet, a 3d printer!!

Thanks bud, I hope it works out in the snow, as it did on the bench. I need to make a few adjustments for sure. The servo horn hits the bumper as of the moment. I'll probably make a new "Plate", so I can turn the servo vertical instead of its current horizontal position.
It'd be nice I'f I could make this out of a thicker plastic instead of the wood. Working with what I have.

Hey for your first stab at it i would say you did damn good!! Now you know the logistics of what you want so it's just a matter of perfecting it now!!

I run king 100mm on a couple of my scx10s. They are an awesome shock! You can also get spring packs for them with 4 different spring rates.

Was so impressed with the underdrive in the ford I got a set for my wraith, will be installing them today. Also finally pulled the trigger on a set of locked up rc rock cutter 1.9 wheels, should be here Monday. I ordered all the scale hex bolts and acorn nuts to go with them, should be a good looking wheel.

Just when I decide not to use the 2 speed trans and transfer case. I find that you can rotate the motor plate. Game on! Looks good mocked up. Now to get motor mounts made. Got some MIP's for it and all my paint finally got here. Hoping the 13.5t redline on 3s isn't too much for it. Cant wait to find out!
Had to throw together a Pede. too much snow for the wraith. Modded some mud thrashers onto slash wheels with a sensored 8.5 turn on 2s. Geared real low.
