Thursday i started by putting my mount in and mocking things up seeing what would work.





Friday i stopped at my LHS and got everything i needed and started mocking things up, I really wanted the chassis layout to be more of a traditional truggy style layout with the motor on the servo side, but it just didn't end up like that. I would have had to dremel the chassis a bunch in the already large 2 speed opening. So i opted to flip the mount and run the 1520, which ended up working out well!



This was my late Friday night test run, Its hard to read, but it came in @ 12lbs 15oz RTR. I didn't have time to setup my radio box yet so i slapped it together just so i could run it!
I tried running the Trencher X's but they ballooned really bad and also limited my steering sense they rubbed on the LST2 Shocks, They where fun and did lots of wheelies though! Some of these pictures didn't turn out as well as i hope, but here's one next to my next project a Losi Muggy. The XLB got quite dirty from the 2 thrashings I've given it!

After the 2nd test run and adjusting the preload way too much i ordered the RcRaven Dualrate springs, as the black ones where way too soft
