Some update here:
I went to 17.5t Trackstar motor with a 24 t pinion gear, 2nd gear with the 13.5 was too fast for my style of driving.
more torque and better handling in 1st and nice speed in 2nd now!

Some pics from the crawl tests:

I would be interested in one of the top plates.
Is the top plate and the steering plate all one piece?
Did you have to cut the fuel cell open?
Your build is amazing.
Everyone always bashes on the twin hammers and I don't understand why. I have never had any problems with mine.
Keep the updates coming.

Hi! In my opinion the little Twin takes a lot of abuse!

The top plates are two, one for the steering, with servo or without (like Derwoods plate), and one to hold the SCX-10 plastic towers, because plastic is light tough and "gives"!
No the Proline fuel-cell comes open!

Thank you man!!! Keeps me motivated!!!

I would be interested in the plate without the servo and the one for the shock towers. If you want to send me a PayPal address I can send you some money for the plates.

Such a great build, I love the fact you have built or modified many parts to work for you.

How did you attach your front sheetmetal inner fenders? Are they one piece with the side panels? If so, how much of a pain was it to get the bends correct?

Nice build. As you can tell I'm taking notes.

When you say best tires you have had, care to elaborate.
The reason I ask is I am really thinking of straying from my swamper loyalty for the new build and running them. I have not read to much negative about them.

Sorry for the late answer, Sr.Irie.
In my opinion the rubber of the voodoo is outstanding this and the lug spacing make them superior right put of the bag!
Only thing I would change is the wide
