just built my truck. very nice build and great quality. Oh, and LOTS of screws. good think my ryobi was charged when i started. Even with all the pre-built sections of the truck, it still took a while to build due to the number of screws holding it together. I now know why the aluminum screw set for the truck is on back order at a-main.
I managed to shoehorn a tekin 2650 1/8 motor in it and now just need to adjust the gearing to make it fast enough on 2s. i figure a 20/58 should be about right.
Only think i can knock this truck for so far is that taking the servo out is a royal pain; stripped the horn after 5 minutes of running and realized i had to take like 10 screw out just to wiggle the servo out. I might need to mod the bottom of the chassis and mounting points so i can get it out without needing to disassemble 1/4 of the truck. Should have sprung for a nice new high end servo before assembling the truck cause now i will probably need to take it out again soon.
anyway, i like it so far and it's very quite for a 4wd stadium truck; the older vesions sound like armageddon when 7 of them are racing on an indoor track together.
