Default my first tlt/goes scale pg3

hi, i finaly got a tlt. I got it on ebay a while back for 200 bucks RTR. And man i love it, but I wish i would have got one brand new and built it from there cause i really dont no much about it. Any way since i got it i have got a tracer kit. The chassie went together very easy. Other than that just some tires and minor stuff. Right now its got a temporary t-maxx body on it. Im thinkin about gettin eather a courier body or a early bronco body soon. Here are the specs

chassie= tracer
wheel base= 12.5
ground clearence= 2 3/4
motor= not sure
tires= imex swamp dawgs
motor gear= stock
steering servo= taymia tp-S3003
remote= tq

as you can see there are a lot of mods to be done. Ill try to keep you guys posted on the works. now on to the picts

not to bad flex

some crawlin

naked shot

the last pict
comments and opinions very welcome

Man this sucks.The person that owned the truck before me was an idiot. When he put the wheels on he had a lock nut under the nut that holds the wheels on. So when ever he would turn the wrench the lock nut would cut into the plastic wheel. So when i got it, i took those stupid lock nuts off, and now when i put the tires on they can just slip right over the nut. So a couple days ago i put some washers on and it was working perfect untll today.I was wheelin it and the dang wheel, nut, washer, and all felll off.And to make maters worse i cant find the stupid nut and washers. So now i got to find the same sized nut at a local hardware shop. O well.:-(

First, If you are in such a hurry, then read your OWN DANG THREAD YOU STARTED called ... gears?????

Everyone tells you 48 pitch metric. So, you want to buy a 32P?

Oh crap, I'm helping you and I didn't even mean to. oh well, then try what I think I have used:
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXEX36&P=M

It is 48P metric, with 13 teeth.

Here's a video of the good old days: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...ocidfeed&hl=en
