Hi guys
Recently came across a radio shack rc avalanche without the controller. kinda surprised that it has metal dog bone axles and metal knuckles, a metal drive shaft for the 4 wheel drive and a 540 can motor in it. looks like the shocks can be changed also. i thought it had some potential so i grabbed some spare electronics and started work. it was real simple to remove the old circuit board. i just cut them off close to the board. the steering box in this is close in size to a servo. i had to do some modding to the front to get the servo in place but not much. the limited slip diffs work so it's not going to be crawling over much but it looks to be a higher grade toy made a little stronger than most.
don't know why this one is sideways sorry.
i had to cut through half of a screw mount so it won't be used. the front bumper will slide over it and hold it in place.
It has a spot for a 9v battery that i might use to add some front and rear lights. so far it moves around really well. i'm not to push it until i get to open both gear boxes to see what it looks like. it's running good so far.
