Use a 640 x 480 size format for posting on the forum, hit the insert picture link and use the image shack link they give you for posting in forums.

OK here it is. This is my first tuber... I did not actually built the chassis. I bought the truck on ebay... maybr from a RCcrawler member (?)... It was originally red (very scratched) and the side plates were covered with fake graphite stickers... I took it completely appart, sandblasted the chassis and painted it bright yellow. I painted the side plates flat black... I made brand new links and replaced the servo mounts by the ones made by Bender... The truck has a Pede tranny with metal motor plate, a lathe motor and a gear reduction unit. Tranny and diffs are completely locked. The thing is slow like a snail but man it is strong! I still need to craft some some sort of skid plate and put weight on the front wheels...

Now my only problem is that I live in th Netherlands.... Veeeeeeerrrrryyyyy flat land! LOL

Are those lithium ion 18650 cells? How do they work? I've got a bunch of them and am planning to use them when I get my TLT built.
