Default TH budget truck

Hey guys

I have been having a great time with the TH. Its been about ten years since Ive been in RC. This beast brought me back. I was messing around with my RC stuff. I came across my favorite RC body and decided to hack it up.

YUP just came in about 5 minutes ago. I have some old 2.2 paddles that work really well. I just need two more and it will really fly.


So far my only complaint is that I broke the steering servo somehow.

I love the body on the TH. It was also my favorite growing up. I may take it off, however. I want to go for an OD Green army buggy. Im glad I got back into RC!!

Stayed with the original body panels.

Broken so far......

1. M2 bolt in motor mount. Drilled through the back side of mount to get bolt out.
2. Front suspension push turnbuckle.
3. Front driveshaft allen keep loosening up
All stock except 17mm spacers and servo. This truck should have been this wide from the factory!! I need to get some high offest wheels.

made my own beefy shock tower bracket. I started out by hand the switched to the Bridgeport at work. I wish I would have started on the mill.

Clean design. Ya might want to rebuild your shocks though. That chassis is lookin a bit oily.
