The finished product looks good! Check out servo city or I ordered mine from www.hobbywarehouse.com simply because their shipping is much cheaper and I picked up a bunch of other stuff too.

 

[CREEPERBOB]

thanks ryan, i've got the majority of the rig already, except for the expensive parts. Servos' and radio. I'll be using 7980s' for the servos' but for the radio ,,,,,,,,,,,,, not sure yet but probally a 4pl.

Single 7980 on each axle?

 

[CREEPERBOB]

Yep

 

[ittybitty]

Good deal. That's what Im gonna try out first. I've got some 7950's here that I thought about running on the rear axle and strapping the 7980s on the front axle. From what I'm seeing the single 7980 should be fine though...and keeps from complicating the steering linkages.

[CREEPERBOB]

Thanks Casey, i need to get a knuckle weight setup similar to those you made, i have some delrin to mess around with, i guess i'll try that. I was thinking of just threading the holes and use 1/2" set screws and thread into the delrin.

You've already got something to cut it with! "thumbsup"

BTW, if you think that truck is big compared to a 2.2.......wait until you drive it! Driving anything smaller after driving a super will REALLY piss you off! :lol:
