Thanks!

What diffs are you using?

Those things look sweet!

I am curious if they would work with 1/8 sized diffs like UE.

Had some good fun in the woods yesterday (oo eer!) Had to ditch the lovely chrome airfilter pipe as I had tuning probs beyond my patience.
The third pic below is next to my mates LST - as you can see they are exactly the same wheel base, what with the .21 chassis and extra length afforded by the Gorilla arms.







I've put up some clips on my server, they dont buffer before playing (not sure how to do that)

Some meager jumps - its pretty hard to line up!

The cameraman thought he was going to be wearing a t-maxx

My friends LST - he seems to get better air time to me

Braided;

one final question on these rear cvd's; are they longer than the front ones? Can you measure the length from where it touches the bearing and where the pin is, that is in the diff?

Hey Dov - have you tried an LST body on your T
:idea With those wheels and the extra wheelbase - it may look in scale (more like a large stadium truck)

Hi, I've had her in bits waiting to revise my build! I like the new proline 650 body, this one is the extended version as G suggested. Wow this is a long body - much longer than the extended hummer body. I used the longer stock rear bumper mounts at either and the body just fits snugly making it fit quite secure, i am quite confident this will keep its integrety in a crash.







The front end needs long posts to support to body.

While in bits i used inch long screws to fit the roll bar properly



I nicked the lexan sheet stuck to the chassis idea off of the ue supermaxx. Should keep the chassis and inside area dry and free from dirt

I got a nice thick bit of lexan from the lhs and cut out all the screw holes and other attachments. Its stuck down with industrial strength double sided sticky tape.

not to be out done by my mates double servoed lst I got the proline servo saver and added a couple of hitecs working in sync.
Its so much more responsive than before. The only downside is my battery pack only lasted about 8 / 10 tanks compared to nearly double that with one steering servo.

fitted the new Flm drive cups and front / rear dogbones which are much thicker. Carbon brake and pads



new header



over the top





there you go, or there i go!

A month of going into 'car corner'! while my partner sits alone watching rubbish on tv - Well worth it.. I will have to try the .30 collari as the .23 isnt popping wheelies like it used to on the standard chassis.

Has anyone tried a .30 in the extended chassis?

Very nice ride! If you want wheelies, you could just drop a tooth on the clutch bell to get them back. A tight slipper (Robinson is a little inconsistent and may be slipping on you) may help as well. A .30 will put a hurtin' on the t-maxx tranny.
