Default Turnigy 1/18th Scale Stadium Truck

Anyone seen this thing? http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...dproduct=13450
Maybe not the hottest new racetruck out there, but knowing HK it's probably great for what you pay. They also have a 16th scale Bug. Looks like the Bug has some parts support already but none shown for the Truck yet.

You know I wonder. Those diff cases look familiar. Is this possibly the old Trinity Blade?

*sighs*

You have no idea how demoralizing that is to see that when i'm building a brushless, hopped up mini-t pro at the moment and cash issues are making the build very slow (anyone got a cc sidewinder micro and 6800kv motor they dont want anymore? )

looks quite nice that turnigy truck.. if it's fragile thats no good but dayummmmm 50 bux for a bl 4wd truck.. if its not badly fragile then thats a bargain

Deleted my original post as I know you guys know your stuff. The HY cars on ebay are another great cheap alternative.

Your best bet might be to use stock outdrives and put a sleeve on them like Associated uses on the RC18. If the Associated part does not fit you can find different size collets at most hardware stores.
