It came with 2 twister motors that had 402 had written in marker on them a wp860 ESC the tires where roten so I added some team associated mt88 tires and wheels and used the old upper links off of my wraith on the top of the axle I also extended the wheel base by about 1.5" it dosent tip over so much any more I used the jb lockers front and rear in added some led lights and a fuel cell like deal I think its sweet and it craws good too

The ESC went up in smoke the other day for no aperant reason I decided to replace both motors to just in case one was bad I picked up 2 goolrc 35t motors because they where real cheap and a 4s capable cheep Chinese speed controller we will see how this set up works out hopefully this set up holds for a while

I've finally got this thing running again I ended up using 2 new rain speed controllers one couldn't handle 2 motors on 3 s I cut the front skid way down and mounted the servo on the axle itself I have to weld a few tabs on to the skid and clean it up and it should be good the plastic I mounted the cab to went away so I replaced that area with some aluminum and now I have a really solid mount for the cab hinges to bolt to the motors were getting to hot for my liking so I ordered some 9t pinnions for it the thing flys right now so that should slow it down a bit and up the torque a bit I still have to build the new rear axle and shave and reinforce the rear links

The pinnions showed up today I fit the front one and it fit perfect I did trim a little off the inside of the motor opening so the motor would fit I also made the last tab for the skid so I'll clean it up and weld it all together I'll change the rear pinnion when I build the new rear axle I am also thinking of redoing the rear toob work also or maybe just finish it as it is

I got the rear axle built got the pinnions in its running really good I set the front ESC to f/b/r mode and the rear to f/r mode it eliminates the heavy drag brake on the front axle when going forward and becomes a drag break in reverse on the first click full reverse on second click all that's left is to clean it up and run it

I installed a new set of shocks made a aluminum bed for the rear and after getting it all together the chassis cracked and one of the links snaped so its time for a bunch more new parts after all this rig has been through it deserves some new parts I might try to make some links out of aluminum but I want that stock lower link set up and i dont think i can replicate the stock links good enuff to look or work right its is still a clod after all and I want to keep it that way
