|  '08 X-22 Comp Tuber
Start off with the specs... Chassis: Sinastir Crawlers X-22 Super, modified to work with my TXT drivetrain Trans: GD600 and TXT tranny Motor: 7T puller, with 10T coming ESC: Mamba Max, and CC BEC to be added This is the first major overhaul of my TXT in 4 years, and so far everything points to it being for the best. Carbon fiber panels will be coming once I am happy with the set-up and I wont need to add or remove them as often. The Rx packs on the servos is what I used last season to power my servos, but this year I have the CC BEC. Ran out of time to get it installed tonight, and will have it in there tomorrow. So far in what little testing I got in today, it is far more stable than the old set-up of a modified stock TXT chassis. Sidehills a lot better, and the suspension is a lot more predictable. Not to mention the huge reduction in sprung weight, and the overall CG lowering. As you can see the driveline is very long and was a trick to get mounted up. The use of the stock TXT trans is why there are two vertical uprights in the middle of the chassis. As the snow/ice melts more testing will come, but so far all is good. I have nothing but good things to say about the 7T puller, and can't wait to finish up my 8 cell packs and see how it likes that! On to the pics: Before:  After:    |

looking good! not sure i like the batteries sticking up out in the open in the rear! potential damage/dnf! i'd also turn the rear shocks around so the reseviors are more protected.

I am not too worried about the reservoirs, never had problems with them like that before. But I may do it, need more testing first... Quote:
