Latest conversion project - HB GT10

[VintageMA]

Finally got the chance to really give the truck a run this weekend.

Saturday was the first real run and a few issues - the stock tires really balloon a lot and would cause the truck to flip when turning because the inside wheel would balloon up big and push the side of the truck up.

Other issue was that the weight was a little to far forward so the truck was very front heavy.

Last night I moved the battery tray much farther back in the truck and today it was running tons better.

Also - I had gotten a spare set of tires and wheel and took the time to follow this thread here:

It was my first try and tire tapping and it worked out phenomonally. The truck ran awesome.

I know these pics won't last for a long time, but here's an Eagle Tree of the run and some of the final build pics.
