Status: offline 		thx guys....I have the R/R tranny gears as well but I'll wait until the plastic fails before I open up the tranny and put in the FOC...the only other major thing will be a set of Moab's on all 4 corners..I never build anything I can't play with

Status: offline 		I hate to admit it but I have not messed with this truck in about 6 months. It is covered with dust begging for attention. Still have not installed the steering servo or the radio gear. Been to busy flying my RC planes, it's been to nice of weather to sit in the house working on a truck when you can be out flying. I will get around to it one of these days. I did build this truck to run, not to sit on a shelf. It has all top of the line parts in it from RR gears to Boca bearings. The plastic fuel tank was installed just so atleast one part would be from a T-MAXX.
