This truck will be a slow speed crawler, but the other truck will be a basher. I need some machine tools to make the transfer diff case for it, so that may be a few months... |

It would be cool though. I am wondering what tires to ue on this. I will do the shakedown runs with talons as I have a bunch of them. I think I have some mashers, and I also have 4 of the losi claw tires from my aftershock. Those are decent crawling tires. 6 moab xl tires on the narrow 40 series beadlocks would be awesome, but $200 bucks for wheels and tires is a bit much!!!!! |
For your adjustable suspension, May be a long shot but put the upper shock mounts on really strong servos and adjust from there, so you could have different heights on each side, if you use a 6 channel radio, you can put the "airride" on one stick to adjust and driving on the left. lockers on the flap or smoke switch

Update with pics!
So I am getting there. Finished the center skid, greased the front and center diffs, and attached all of the suspension I currently have built. I need to scare up another 3.3 diff case for the rear. And one more steering bellcrank post that is hiding somewhere.
I also need to space the johnson motors back a bit, as the shafts are too short to fit the pinions backwards. I may end up using some titans, as they will fit without mods. Yes, the rear chassis is red, I got it in trade with a bunck of parts, and it appears to be the only other emaxx tranny I have left... I guess I cut up all of the others to make battery trays... I will order another chassis when I make my next order, so for now it will have to do. http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...p/DSCF2668.jpg http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...p/DSCF2669.jpg http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...p/DSCF2670.jpg http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...p/DSCF2671.jpg http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...p/DSCF2672.jpg |
Cool.
Buy some cheap black spray paint (Krylon even) and fix that chassis, its making my eyes hurt (noobs have no taste when it comes to doing things like that to a truck...). |
Are you using 4 motors? if not why not skip the rear transmission? use the rear chassis as a plat form for something, make it into a project x truck with rockets or something cool.

You should have seen all the al parts he had ano-ed red, it was horrible. Luckily the bulks very silver, so I sold them! And the tranny case was painted silver... Very ugly paint scheme, but I only paid about 50 bucks for more than a complete truck worth of parts.:yipi: I do own an auto body shop, so I should have a can of flat black spray-bomb around somewhere:wink: |

Looking good, lincpimp. I wanna see this thing rumble asap!

Looks good. (Will look a lot better when that chassis is painted though.)
