I don't. They look great but don't perform that well. I'm waiting on pitbull to come out with their 1.55.

Could you take a pic of how the electronics are situated? Trying to fit everything in my tj is getting hard.

I utilized the firewall area and the plate the GRU and motor are mounted on to mount the RX, esc, and lipos.

Your build is awesome! Are those 2.2 or 1.9 tires? What's their height and width? They look great on that build. Did you use SCX axles as well as chassis?

 

[salmonfacesalad]

Thanks guys"thumbsup"

The tires are 1.55's, but I can see why you ask. They are tall, taller than some 1.9's.

They are 4.11 inches tall and 1.35 inches wide. They look awesome but aren't that wonderful on the rocks. The tire description clearly states they are good for mud and snow. I assume the real Goodyear Duratrac is basicly an M/S tire.

An SCX chassis was used to base this build off of, ser3100 did all the metal fabrication as well as choosing the chassis.

I ended up using RC4WD's K44 axles, they are awesome.

Have you tried 4.19 claws or MTZ's on there?

Scx10 axles are pretty wide for this body, unless you build some flares to hide some of the width, tlt axles work rather well though.

Awesome, it's Doug!

Nah, I'm gonna wait for the pitbulls. My hopes are that they will be just as tall or shorter than the invaders on there now.

Your are right, if you go back a few pages in this thread you will see my progression from SCX axles to D35's then finally to the K44's.

TLT's work just fine as well.
