For any that care and may be following the constant evolution of Tight Squeez, here is the latest.

Cut the chasis more for symetry and weight.
New body mounting, lower and lighter
Emaxx Tranny , two speed
4:1 Airplane Gear Reduction
Permanent 4WS
New steering servos
New motor
Went back to the cantilever suspension

Pic will be posted soon!

here is a link to a picture of Tight Squeez The Clod Killer!!!

The truck is a 100% better crawler now, which I didn't think was possible. It worked very well before and now crawls much, much slower due to the new tranny. I can't wait to get the gear reduction unit.
It's lighter and there is nothing in the rear.....at all! The chasis has been cut even more and the cg, in my opinion, is lower, overall, than a clod's. I moved all the cantilever suspension components to the outside of the chasis, which makes it even more stable. Similar to how an Xfactor suspension is layed out. Anyway.....check out the pic....I think it says 1,000 words.
