ok, so here's an update.

i started working on this truck, toward the end of this thread: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6529

I decided to bring the updates back to the original thread, bump :)
the project was stopped and put in a box for a few years.. recently, i put it back together with the stock chassis, and started moving the electronics from my LSP-R into the smaller 1/10 truck. here's a picture of what it looks like right now.



neu 1515 2.5d
quark 125b
true-rc 5s1p 5Ah

5mm turnbuckles in the front, and 4mm threaded rod in the rear for braces. notice the second steering bellcrank.
still have to mount the steering servo, and reciever, and finish the battery box.. oh and tear it apart to put in new diff fluid..
