So no drag brake on it, then? How much did it set you back?

You don't really need a brake with a brushed motor but you can get them with a brake if you want. I bought two just in case for 22.96 with free shipping.

[Sh0rtBus]

Yup....that's damn cheap.

What chassis should you have bought?

Nice truck and esc, should'nt really need brake with the worm gear setup in Losi?

[BerticusPryme]

yeah with the worm gear axles no need for drag brake. I used one of the esc's and loved it. They are super easy to water proof as well. I put some liquid eletrical tape on each end and with the clear shrink outter worked like a champ.

You should make some links just to be careful. I had to make some because my driveshaft kept popping out. Ooh, that came out dirty.

I should of got the 4.0" chassis I had to shorten this chassis with the 1/24 body and make new side plates to put it back together. I'll take some pics of what I ended up doing.

As you probably already knew the worm gear doesn't allow the car to roll from the wheel side.

I don't think I'll have that problem with mine I already did the driveshaft mod and lengthened them till the two ends almost touched just in case I had to adjust the chassis later for another body.

Thats where I was going to put the ESC but now I want the interior put in.

[bagged86]

Ok time for the striping




Next is to paint the inside of the bed black to match the big truck
And make a camper shell for the bed as well

[bagged86]

Since the windows are rolled half way down on big brother yota I went ahead and did the same for this one.

[bagged86]

Ok here we go minus the camper shell for now that is.

[Sh0rtBus]

Looks great, Kyle!
