I couldn’t help myself.. really wanted to keep this one scale, but as you can see…

Thank you very much! I was concerned about the drive shafts, but they seem to work fine. Must say, those axles do very well.


I'll need to cut some foams and make dual stage for the front tires, as they're too soft for side-hilling.

damn nice wpl man! i have a more scale built one but she does alright!

 

[Rock Stoneman]

Thank you!

This is from the same day..

Will be installing a stronger 180 80t motor and lot’s of fine tuning.

Which metal driveshaft would you suggest?

You've done nice work with this truck!

 

[Rock Stoneman]

Thank you, Jato!

I’ve made dual stage foams for the fronts. Now it feels much better. Will see what the rock say.

You're welcome! Yep tire foams have a significant impact on performance.

I've used the 1 wiper weight distribution method too. Kept me from many a roll over

This rig is so much fun!

Even more steering makes a hug difference. But this truck need more clearance as well. So I’ll be changing the link setup and will need to make brass weights… I know it’s going to be good!!

New and shaved front axle and other mods...
