Default not sure if its an Axial or a Mutt

as I had stated on another post.. i recieved a scorpion in a trade (my oldest son hated rock crawling) so I built a Fathead tuber for all the cool stuff the Axial has.. Anyways I had alot of left over parts from other TLT kits laying around and an Axial chassis so here you go....

specs:
Axial Chassis w/battery tray
Traxxas front shocks w/Losi springs
Axial rear shocks w/1 Losi, 1 Traxxas spring
TLT axles w/bearings and G-Made wideners. Front axles houses a CVD
Axial wheels(weighted down 8oz. each in front)with Axial rock lizards
Hitec 645mg servo,
Crappy XRS e.s.c. w/55t lathe
1 cut up Betty body..

the red spring is stiffer to help out with the torque twist..

Oh yeah, It's got a stampede trans too. it fits on the skid if you put the links on the inside of the chassis


the flex shot...

limiting chains are there because I glued the shock caps on when my son had the truck and then I could not get them off to put fuel tubing in to limit the down travel... but it works

2000 nimh battery on the front servo..

Its a mutt alright but it does crawl rather well, just need to get some better tires for it...

Those are TLT axles... so that doesn't make it an Axial. Wrong section.

But it is 90% Axial parts so it is more axial than anything...Kind of a hard one to say where it would belong

well in the 1:1 world the truck is usually determined by body and/or chassis. but with rc's since there is so many aftermarket bodies and chassis that would be too hard so i usually judge by the axles.
