Sweet, I will definately do that. I will take some pics of the various parts I have so far. Should be an easy build, at least I hope so...

Love you too Shaun...

I will enjoy watching you trying to kick my ass with your undervolted crawler.

Seriously it will be good to see you again!

And the moment that you have all been waiting for...

My custom cut chassis side plates and upperlink/servo mounts, plus pics of the other large assemblies:















I was going to use a 1/4 scale servo, but it was a bit too wide to fit with the long upper links. I will trim the side of the pede trans when I get the smaller pinion.

Some finished pics. I love the tiny tlt body! Somehow I forgot to order a body for this truck, but the tlt body looks so funny I may leave it for a while...













Gave it a good test run last night and it performed quite well. Lower gearing would be nice, I have some smaller 5mm bore 32p pinions coming. I need longer springs, I am currently using losi 10th buggy rear springs, and need to get some losi 10th truck rear springs. My ground clearance needs to be about 1/4" higher and it should be about right. Otherwise all of the equipment ran great, no heat to speak of. My steering servo would cut out for a few seconds sometimes. Not sure why, but I may swap in a bigger jr 8711 and see how that does.

Seems like a success, the badlands tires are really good, even with the stock foams. I did narrow the foams a bit, cut off about 1/4 of the total width. The tires seemed too fat with the stock width foam on the narrow proline wheels.

Stepped down to a 16 tooth pinion from the 18t that I had. Much better low speed driveability. I cannot make the esc cog or glitch, even rolling backwards down a slope it will stop and run forwards with the smallest throttle input. CC did a great job with the sidewinder, excellent speed control for 2.2 and an outrunner.

Holy GC1 knock off looks good James
