well today i had time to work on this truck of mine, i have made the motor mount out of 7075 alunimum seems to be quite a mount! The only problem was that it was my only piece of bracket to practise on!

The mount holds pritty tight to the chassis and the mesh is nearly perfect!!
i cut the upper deck in to places removing the gas mount and rear leaving me with the front so i can mount the radio tray.

I also cut the radio tray and everything seems to fit in great! I've tooken another piece of 7075 alunimum and added a back plate to keep the rear end connected to the centre diff.
I re-did my batteries differently because i could distribute the weight better, i made the bottom 4 cells and the top each side was a cell. 6 cells in total.
added some foam around and electrical tape so i can prevent shortage of the batteries. and tape the batteries too. All i have to do is use double stick tape for the reciver and e.s.c!!!
i tested it in the air and the mesh seems to be perfect, not too tight and not to loose, the tires dont expand but it looks to be very fast though, i think an 18t motor will do great for a begginer.

P.s sorry for the major time delay, pics Will come in ver very soon!!!!!!!!
