Default version 1, R.I.P.


so my initial set up seems to have incurable torque roll. I tried a stiffer LR spring, and heavier oil in that same shock, but nothing helped without causing other bad effects. any grab of throttle would lift the RF tire off the ground about 2-3 inches, and squat the crap outta the LR. i have a stealth tranny in it, with a 12/96 gear setup, and i had rotated the motor plate, so it would all fit into the stock TLT chassis. the motor was up top in the chassis, as was the stick pack, which would not fit on the links within the narrow tlt chassis (not shown here). Thus, it's time to redesign. the stock chassis plates are already hacked up, so i think they're done. I'm going searching for cutting boards this week...looking to make a teflon version of the bulu 2?

is it bad that i'm doing a complete redesign, and my truck has only crawled crap in my living room so far??? it isn't even dirty yet, and it's getting scrapped and rebuilt....damn this site!!!!!!!

the nylint battery was all i had that would fit on the servo up front...

the stick pack has a 30 min run time, but had to be put up high, in the chassis.....i will make the teflon terror chassis a little wider, so the stick pack can sit on the links, nice and low....
