Nice build...I would narrow the hell out of the wheels and get a good servo. I tried the 946mg and it will turn the wheels while the truck is moving. I ran it for about 4 hours and it worked just fine. But there was a lot of times that I wished I had a better servo. For the money, it will get you by to see how the rig will run.

Thanks man! I actually got these wheels and tires on the way from reflection:


They are a proline outer ring lock, with a kyosho buggy inner wheel glued in. I think they look pretty cool.

Worked on the rear axle a bit today. I got the servo mounted with a peice of angled aluminum and a little bit of axle shaving. It turned out really good, and its mounted very strongly, 0 movement whatso ever.

Thanks man. I think it should do well too. I thought about doing the same for the front as well, but i would have to see where i can mount another servo bracket and things.

What do you need for the Steering? I can't sit here and watch this much longer... It's kind of sad...

I was just making the front mount like the rear mount to lower the servo and clean it up a bit.
