|  Power Wagon SW2
Hobby People had TLT's on sale July 4th for 59 bucks with the discounts, so I got one. I then decided to get an SW2 chassis because I've already built my own tube chassis crawler so I decided to buy a chassis for that "factory" look. The body pic doesn't do the paint justice, it looks real nice, it changes to purple in the light. No wheelin pics since the other two wheels are on backorder til the 28th. First one to notice what I did to the chassis gets to buy them self a cookie. Specs: TLT axles, duhhh..... locked, bottom shaved, steering blocks shaved and stub axles trimmed for more steering. Pede trans 55T lathe motor Mini LST battery Nosram Tomahawk speed control (I don't think it is made anymore, it came out of an HPI Sprint. It only has enough BEC current for one servo, but thats what a servo reg is for. Best of all tough INSTANT REVERSE!!!!!!) Hot Bodies threaded Alum. T-Maxx shocks Hitec 645MG steering servo Metal bushings to replace the plastic ones Proline Moabs on narrowed Proline Agitator rims. (I used ILRCRC's method of narrowing a wheel because I thought it would be stronger since there is no seam.) XR2 radio system Proline Power Wagon body and of course a Bender Customs SW2 chassis Body pic  Chassis pic  Last edited by TMXONR; 07-22-2006 at 10:01 PM. |

Thanks! Quote:
To do the shafts I just grinded another flat spot on the pinon on the diff, and drilled a hole the size of a traxxas yoke pin. You also have to grind the back of the yoke flat. Make sure you use the Transmission Yokes from a T-Maxx. I think Bender has some pics up in his origional Shaggin Wagon thread. | |

Woah, I never updated this. Well here it is after I finished it. It was also the winner of the $300 Crawler Challenge.   And here it is now. I put a Jeep Cherokee body on it to match my 1:1   |

Thanks! I was worried when I did the mod that the heat from the heat gun would heat up the rest of the body and screw something else up, but I am glad that it only heated up what needed heating.
