Just wondering but, why the wideners ? Also you going to use a smaller battery pakc? I like fact that you use what you had laying around. Suggestion.. If you plan on keeping this as comp rig I move the tranny mount plate to bottom and use something like derlin or a cutting board. It may help with drive shaft angles and you may look into a moped esc it very small and is only around 30 bucks. But other then that keep up the good work. - whats your wb and how wide is that thing ? |

Looks nice but the wideners are sagging! It is too wide. Also with T-maxx shocks to replace the tlt ones then you'll get more travel, they also look better.

he knows how to build a truck as do i and a lot of other people. the difference is that we all cant afford to go buy all the best stuff at once. hes making a start and like a lot of trucks it will be evolving as he goes. so check up on it every now and then.

i have ran it and the driveshafts hold up fine. i need to order some parts as the rear went out on me. check back for updates, i was looking at getting a moped esc and a lathe but since this whole truck is original, why go with what everyone else has, im heavly considering the brushless and im probly going to go with that. |
