Looks like a good start. Doesn't look like you spent that much money, compared to some other builds. Except $37.99 for spacers WOW! Thats why I made mine from Tamiya Frog wheel adapters for about $10.

You've got a good list of parts going. You might need something stronger for the dig though. I have one of the R2D's also, but it needs a full size servo to work properly. I would also look into some Teflon bushing for it, they help it work smother. Keep it up. Interested to see it all put together.

you dont think 67oz of torque at 6v will work ?
im running it at 7.4v
and were you running the spring in your dig?
thanks though more parts are on their way
also do you have a link of those bushing becouse i cant find them in stock

Honestly I was running almost 200 oz at 6v and it still would get stuck from time to time.

Here are the bushings:

And I would suggest some of the Jelly from him also. Link here:

almost done just need to-
solder all electronics together
make some link mounts for the links in the middle
servo mount
digg servo mount
charge batteries
let it loose:-P cant wait

it was cool how jerry's tranny mounts were with those hideaway screws.i decided to go with a different route.i just like countersunk screws.and also only 4 screws instead or 6 to take the tranny off.
