Yeah but look at it this way you'll never have to buy spare parts again just think how much you'll save in shipping plus you can eBay the 2 speed that'll pay for your interior . Dinky makes another one that's more suited to the d-10 suv body

Haven't had my truck out yet but a buddy of mine is getting 45-50 mins on a 5000mah 6cell .

Cool 2 of those batteries good enough for me
Thanx man

Still wanna get that F-350 body but thinking I may just scale it out with accessories ( full interior , beer cans , ice chest , etc ) instead of the desert racer route . Looking into getting a toolbox for the bed , and that's where I'll put the Nimh pack . That way I don't have to take the body off just to change packs . Still not 100% positive but it'll probably be easier and cheaper to do lol .

I just test fit one in mine and it maybe could be shoved in, but it's not a clean fit. FWIW I do run 3000 mah 3s soft lipos in mine.

[HARDRIVE]

Maybe cause of the batterry wires?
Does the the 6cells fit inside tho?
Maybe i can make a hole and shouved those wires down?

Finally got the F-350 body built , still gotta get the rc4wd mounting kit for it later . Ran out of money cause I didn't realize I also had to buy all the screws , nuts , and bolts for the body separately so the money that was gonna buy the mounting kit had to buy those lol . Right now it's just resting on the chassis but here's some mock up pics


Here's the mounting kit I gotta get

Short run of my tf2

I tried to video while running it lol
I didnt know itll be this hard hahaha

https://youtu.be/djG2-72NAkk

Is there a better way to video while running it

[imthatguy]

A tripod, orienting the camera properly, and a low angle are all good starts.

Im only using my note 4 tho for video

You can do a lot with a phone's video capabilities, using the aforementioned techniques.

All you need is one of these for a tripod to get the low angle

It fits in your pocket when you're out on the trails. YouTube has decent basic video editing features that are free and super easy to use. That's how I started.
