Winnerone23, looking good like your transfer skid and battery location ideas. Moving the transfer case so that it's not as radically angled to one side would help the mounting screws stay tight and driveshafts to be under much less load.

Thanks! It's working Awesome! I can't wait to comp it this Sunday! Pretty Stoked, in case it's not noticeable... Lol.

Now that I'm not running the 2 speed tranny, that might actually work..

Back to it...
Rausch Creek comp, 2 weeks ago..
Small ESC/battery, issue. Caused a touch and lead to a dnf.. :'(
Put me 3 points in 2nd place.

Buuuutttt... The Troyota was running Superb, other wise!!!

The HH Puller pro is creeping up on a Crawlmaster, as far as smmoootttHH goes!
I was lite on the throttle when needed and heavy on it, when needed.. Performance was flawless! (Minus battery brown out)
To much Powah, for a 850mah, I guess.

Then I got to play, after the 3 courses.
Holy Handling! I was racing around and thrashing on this poor truck!
Which leads to wanting to do it more and harder! Which then leads too, Breaking stuff! I'm kinda good at that. . lol..

Breakage prevention..

I snapped my last transfer case drive shaft! (It was only the tiny pin, but you can't get new parts. Just a new shaft)..
So a full fledged MIP drive line, was in need!

You used wraith c hubs and knuckles correct? Wonder if VP scx chubs and knuckles would do the job as well....

Guess I didn't even notice the swap I was too concerned about the motor haha.

Guess the MMX worked as expected with the 2200 stubby though

It's so ridiculous! At first throttle pull, I thought I was still running the HH 16t Crawlmaster pro/BRXL combo! Smmooootttthhhh.....
Then I let off the throttle and I about fell over! Drag brake, in brushless!? Get out!!!

No worries on the combo! I just wanted more Powah!!!

Which front bumper are you using? Sweet looking truck by the way. This is very close to the color I want to paint my TF2

It's a custom front bumper. I believe the market states this, in the first page or 2.
Oboxx(misspelled, my bad man) I'll get correct screen name after work.

I saw that part of the post. I am looking for a bumper that doesn't limit the approach angle. This one looks like it doesn't hurt the approach angle at all.

Good good..
You are correct. Any less bumper and my body would be the limiting factor on approach angle. So, it's about as awesome as it gets!

My biggest issue, is leaving an obstacle! I get the rear bumper hung up, more then any other part of the truck.. ggrrrrrr..
But again, not much to do about it. Body sits on it.. and it's not too often.. lol..

With Motorama coming up, a requirement is having a driver..

So the wife not only got me a driver, but a good looking one at that! Lol..

She couldn't have done better!






Great choice for a driver! I am a huge fan of Game of Thrones
