I temporarily turned it into a scale monster truck for the Kevin Talbot Quarantine Monster Jam challenge. Man it's so hard to line up for jumps in such a small area. It was still fun. https://youtu.be/2nBmAIVm-BA Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk |

Great video, it would definitely be hard to line up in such a small space!

Put in a sway bar on the front and screwed the sand ladders to the body pins for mounting and hiding the body posts. Handles really good now with the dual sway bar. Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk |

Cool idea to hide the body posts.

Nifty How did you do a front seat bar? Rear parts on the front? |

Decided to change the Wendigo into a scale monster truck. Did some big jumps with some 3.2 monster truck tires and had a blast. Going to pick up a monster truck chassis of some sort. Video of hitting the ramps and abusing the Wendigo like I normally do but the jumps are so much more controlled with the big tires. https://youtu.be/FvCoovSByNM Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk |

How's this holding up bvb for you with the big mt tires? Did you find 3.2 wheels with a 12mm hex, or find 14mm hexs that fit the Wendigo? I dont need another scale truck, but I do need some monster truck axles. These are looking more appealing than AR60s as far as jump survivability goes. |

That does fly pretty well. Seems like they hold up alright. Any tips to putting the Wendigo axles under the smt chassis? What shocks are you using?

That seems too easy... Got any close up pics of your servo mount? |

How's the handling with the locked front? I've got a custom mt on ar60s that I run clod sized tires, and mud basher on. Also have a capra on the wendigo axles, already set up for soa, so swapping would be easy, just wondering how it would drive if I did. | |
