Just thought maybe it will work well in the snow.. those are the sand dune / beach type tires...
They are slightly smaller in diameter, though.. so I guess it might not be a bad thing, it automatically gears down your car a little bit!!

?! The one that's standing up is the right hand side tire.. while the one lying flat on the table is the left hand side tire...
The paddle should be digging into the sand / snow..

The rear tires look backwards to me. Wouldn't they get more traction the other way?

Ha, no worry..
They are also smaller in diameter compare to the stock tires.. so it should give it some more torque for the sand / snow.. since the friction will be high...

Pretty cool!! What are they originally for?
You need to put the small bumper on, though... looks much better w/ the shorter bumper!

The Titan 12T shaft is actually too long.. I had to cut it using Dremel.. then I mount the pinion with the screw on the outside..

All mounted.. it is a tight fit!
Wonder how this motor will perform.. I have no idea.. hopefully it has good torque and okay top speed...
TEX just put a Sport Tune on his WW-2, so I need to keep up.. hee hee..

I got one more coming in.. (for the Lunchbox) Just thought it is a decently priced ESC that can handle the 12T Titan... ($54 or something? Then you use the Tower coupon..)
Will run it tomorrow to see how well it works.. !!

Looks good man!! Your WW2 is definitely going to give mine a run for it's money.

To be honest w/ you, I have no idea how fast it will go.. the big can motor ususally respond much better w/ 7-cells or more.. and I am only running the standard stick pack, of course..
And if it is only about as fast as your Sport Tune.. then I don't know what's the point.. I might as well get a Sport Tune, and just run the standard TEU-101 ESC.. instead of buying this new ESC!
Maybe it has more torque and allows the use of the 20T pinion...

I'd like to get my hands on the RC WW2 chassis and do the "Racing Lunchbox" conversion on it...
Maybe early January or something!

That'd be sweet for sure!! Make sure that you still put Willy inside of the Lunchbox body, though.. got to see the trademark driver!!
