That dig is awesome! I don't have a use for it yet since there are no "formal" comps around here (yet); but when the time comes, I'll be in touch... Awesome job!

I have got to see a write-up on how to do this. I might have to go out and get me a cheap TQ3 setup now so I can have front dig. That is AWESOME! Let me know if you get a good how-to done on this. This WILL BE my next mod to my TLT. |

| I've always preferred scale rigs over comp style rigs. But after seeing this I'm shopping around for a comp style. This thing looks great and it looks like a blast to drive. Good job!! |

I did this mod today and seriously, it was waay easier to do than I thought. Building everything only took me about 45 minutes. I'll get some pics of it up tonight.

Nice mod and nice video. I would like to try this on my next project so I agree that we need a nice write-up. Can anyone tell me the name of the band whose music was in the video, I thought they were pretty good too.

I'm dying to do this...do you have a parts list of what you used? I need to start gathering the parts up so that when the time comes that I have instructions, I can go at it with full force.

| My dig setup
Ok, so here's some pics of my dig setup. Sorry for the blurry pics. In this picture you can see the hs-55 mounted and connected to the driveshaft. In this picture you can see the driveshaft connected and the truck in 4-wheel drive. In this final picture you can see the driveshaft disconnected and the brake applied. |

The 1st song on the video is MIRV, a San Francisco band, from their CD "Feeding time on monkey island." Awesome disc. The song is Chupacabras. Miniwheeler- we should try to do a buildup article featuring your dig setup- it's hot! Ryan |
