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.

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.
