Really no point of running the motor in series...... so leave the switch on parallel!

I bet it would be a good fit for the T-Egg chassis! Can you just quick measure the width of the body and the wheelbase? So I can just compare that...

Maybe it is time for me to order up a SuperClod myself.. Will wait awhile, I guess... spent too much $$$ on R/C recently... ha ha ha! (and the Mamba Max is still yet to come, so that's another $200 there when it ships...!)

width @ top of fender well=7 1/8"
width @ bottom of body=6 3/16"

Interestingly enough....the markings inside the body say 1987...

Guess what's the WB of the T-Egg?!

10.5"

Totally need to do a body swap... I should get a Clod next......

With TLT wheel / tire combo -> the width is a little bit less than 9", so the width should work too!!

Here are a few pictures of the chassis assembly.

Metal bracing, ball connectors for links and suspension arms, steering servo mounting plate.

Status: offline 		Looks like a larger version of Lunchboxers T-EGG.

All the electronics installed. It feels strange using the MSC, but I just want to run it like this a few times for old time's sake. I know I will never use the ECONOMY setting and the MSC will be a pain in the (censored). No bashing please...

I put a pistol radio set up in it for now, but I will be using another 4VWD stick radio in this truck. I plan to mount dual steering servos(one on each axel), both on seperate channels.

The ESC will be installed when that comes, Novak dual motor set-up w/ twin batteries. As you can see there is a designated area for one battery, but ample space for two batteries.
