|  72 chevy Diaz chassis
Truck has a runner reverse esc, about 35 bucks. Smaller footprint than the futaba 230 esc even. It works well for a lathe motor or stinger. (haven't tested anything else yet) This truck currently has a 55 turn lathe motor. I'm using my modified tq3 for the upcomming hilift since it's not out yet. I put imex swampers on it, like the look. Traction is decent too. Chassis is a Diaz DT-1 Designed mainly for a pede tranny it is a nice piece. This is the body I did myself and put on some RCMT decals. I'm going to put some "sponsor" decals like you'lll see on a nascar car behind the front wheel well after I trim it back a bit. Other than that I guess the body looks ok. I used Dap33 window glaze in the rear diff, it's packed in well. I think this is the best I've tried for a limited diff. I get posi every time in the loose mulch, and it'll climb over rocks and curbs well with 1 tire lifted. Front diff is open, I am 2w steer and wanted some sort of decent steering radious still. http://myrcmt.net/review/diaz/diaz_play.wmv 2 minute video of it outside. Man, it's hot and humid today, about 92 while I was out. I think I want a bit more wheel speed, maybe I'll go up a couple pinion teeth.    |

Looks good. Paint is a little different, but it's not bad. |

In the pics it looks like the open side of the frame rail channel is facing outward, maybe its just an illusion from the machining. Is there a channel on both sides of the frame, or are the frame rails on the wrong sides? or am i missing something?
