I'll have more pics in the near future. It may be a couple of weeks before I can run it cause I'm still dealing with snow here. I will have video for you guys when I do get to run it.
WOW!!! Nicely done... Looks very professional! Very interested in hearing the track results. Please, Please, Please come to Awesome R/C in Frederickburg VA this weekend 4/5/14. I believe we gonna have great weather to race/play in!!!

Here is some more pics.

The front spindle carriers can't be used, they would produce a real bad negative caster which would no way work The steering linkage would also hit the arms. I pick up those aluminum carriers, but I had to modify them to get them to work. After modifying them they worked great though. These alu carriers are adjustable from a positive caster to a negative caster, which made this all possible and is also a pretty cool option to have.

If the truck preforms as good as I speculate I'm hoping Tekno will decide to make the 3 parts needed to make this available to everyone. The 3 parts...steering top plate, chassis brace and spindle carriers. If Tekno wants any help with this I would be glad to help. I'm sure they don't need any but figured I'd offer.

So for my servo voltage issue I was thinking of using the Novak glitch buster, but then I noticed most of the people seem to use a red little box looking kind of a thing. Is that also the same thing essentially? Can someone send me a link to that if possible? It seems to be very popular.

You mean the little red square things bolted to the top of the radio boxes? Those are transponders, definitely no help with servo problems.

You install it in your truck so the timing system at a track can count your laps.

Those red boxes are the transponders (usually AMB) used when racing to record your lap-times. They have nothing to do with the car performance.

The Novak glitch buster will work perfect for you. With my 4 wheel steering I'm running two high torque SA-1283 savox servos and have no problems at all. If your not running rear brakes you can mount it where the rear brake servo goes. It's a nice tucked away spot for it, you will just have to lengthen the wires cause they're not long enough to make it that far.

Thanks for the offer Offroadlover, but that's a pretty long drive coming from Wisconsin. Especially since I don't have the mustang out yet. With the mustang time would be reduced significantly Lol. I also get 30mpg on highway with the mustang , not bad for a V8.
