All I managed in todays alotted time was installing the option parts from RC4WD that you recommended minus the screws.
The first two pictures is before the option parts were installed.
You can also see the Integy parts there in the last picture. Notice the plate is VERY thin.

Integy gearbox guards are finally fitted, but they seem incomplete? Any thoughts?
The million dollar question is: Where does those spacers in pic 3 and 4 go?
In the 5th pic is an option for the trunk. Good English eh?

That skid looks pretty cool, but wish it is thicker, though!!
I think those left over things are to be mounted if you are going to run straight shocks... (I guess I don't know why I put them on to begin with, since I am using the canti, ha!)
Here's a pic of my Tamiya version for comparison:

It should hold up pretty good. I ordered the same parts, so....looks great.
Not gonna be rock crawling, so having the servo exposed like that is no big deal to me.
Plan on making it fast and tangoing with the nitro monster trucks at the track ...lol
Just for fun.

That's why I have S3306 servos on mine... 333 oz-in... LOL!

Wonder if Jumbo Kongs would look right on a TXT-1, probably not, how would you turn the big rig, then ID need a 144 oz JR servo.

RE: Lunchboxer's TXT-1 project...
the jumbo kongs way too big. i was lookin at a pair at my LHS they were marked down to 9 bucks and i was thinking of it but they just don't fit the txt..
The TXTs tires are wide and aggressive.. but the kong tires are just too flat on the sides... They look like donuts.[&:]
always wanted to put some big joes on my txt... I have some 40 series on my emaxx and revo and those big joes look like a good fit for the TXT. those threads mean serious offroad business

RE: Lunchboxer's TXT-1 project...
Very nice!
When you go high voltage, though, you probably won't want to run the dual 17T, right?! Those motors will not take the voltage too well... ?!
Aluminum axle case?! Or the diff case? (the diff unit inside the axle..)
Keep us posted with your progress on the truck! Maybe post some pics of the hop-ups / custom works if you got a chance!!

Speed Gems motors wont do well in a txt, they are for stadium trucks and buggies, TXT is too heavy and needs power combined with speed.
Speed Gems motors just have speed.
