It's alive. It's alive.

I finally got it running. This suspension setup will need some tuning. On climbs the rear twists pretty good. I also need to pick up another servo so I can gett the rear steering going.

Well I got it out on the rocks this weekend and as predicted it needs some tweeking. Seems like a pretty fun truck to run though. I don't know if I willbe able to get it comp worthy for this summer, but I may run it just for the heck of it.

If this transmission holds up to the punishment you might want to look at making more of these

As if the 55 turn wasn't bad enough. I hope the tranny can hold up to what I have sitting on the bench. Muh Muh Ha Ha!

Update pics later.

Well as promised, here goes.

I picked up a Q33 and an outrunner for this thing. Also added a CCBEC to help out the servos.

Looking pretty slick Billy.

Why the reduction? Make it interesting and gear up AND volt up

I haven't driven it like this yet. I broke off the axle threads in the barrel nut while changing out foams. Now I am waiting for my buddy to get it out for me. This sucks not having the uber machine shop at your beckoned call.

I went with the reduction because I need a larger spur. With the pinions I have they wouldn't reach. My intentions are to do away with the reduction.

Well I moved the lower links. Made all the difference on the squat issues. Now if the weather would just clear up so I can get out and run this on something other than pillows and drywall.
