Looking good young fella. Keep up the good work.

Just a thought, but it will handle and jump better with the battery farther forward on the chassis. If you could put the battery in the fuel tank location and the brake servo in the back, or behind the center diff sideways next to the rear brace, it will most likely be better.

I experimented quite a bit with battery placement, and further forwards always made the trucks steer better, and jump more level. Rear battery placement caused nose up jumping, and weak steering when on power due to weight distribution.

wow, that's something good to know, because of the spur gear the only place really to mount the battery is where the engine used to be, if i tried to put the servo where the engine used to be, i wouldn't be able to put it back very far because of the spur gear, and the battery wouldn't fit in the front. but that is a very good point, and i think that most of my weight will be more located towards the back.

anybody know about a tool for making wholes suit flat head screws? I stink at making countersunk wholes in the chassis, my flathead screws always stick out a little and i don't want them to break off.
