HOLY #*@%!! You gonna add a 50mm canon to that thing? Looks pretty damn cool. My first concern would be gearing and heat. Seems like it may be heavy, but it looks like it could take a serious beating. I like it.

That's a very good idea. Go through it rough and cheap and fine tune it on the newer one. You could also drill the heck out of this one. I'm sure it'll be strong enough after. That 1/4" or 3/16?
man you put a 550 or mod the motor housing for an 18th scale motor and you have a serious beast here. I need fabrication equipment. hahaha.

The 1/8th is what got me. It looks thicker in the picture, maybe 3/16. hahaha. I think it's a great first attempt. Let me know how it goes with carbon fiber if you get around to it.

Looks like thin sheets of steel to me. If it was aluminum it would
be alot lighter. But hey use what you already got in place,
run it and see how it is. Now mounting Truggy tires you gotta
have a large hex conversion.
Ive seen people run Truggy tires on a 4wd Slash so this is nothing new to me.
