So these show the monster servo to turn the 7.55'' tires and also shows the summit 2 speed trans in place.
Since this is going to be a rock crawler and a desert beast The 2 speed trans and larger servo are need to perform at it very best. My goal with the Yeti XL body, is to make look great and perform better that the Summit or the Yeti XL. I think that the 2 speed trans with the Robinson Racing slipper chutch and large steering servo, that it I will be way ahead of the game. Also the Traxxas diff gears from the E-revo should help with the big 4074 2150kv sensored motor thar is going in. I will be running 4s to keep parts from breaking but on some days 6s will also see some duty.

Also ther is going to be a big change in plans for my Yeti XL chassis that I was using. I will be changing it to Carbon fiber I plan on cutting a new Vantage chassis and adding carbon fiber to get the lenght that I will be needed. Also the diffs are going to be beefed up by using Losi LST 2 diffs with thge aluminum housings.
This will then be able to take big power and large tires with no problems Hoping to make it light weight and bomb proof at the same time. I still plan on mounting the Hitec HS-5575MG servo. I want the build not only light as possible but strong as possible. Should be a bad boy RC Desert Buggy! I have been looking on the tower web site and the cage pieces can be had. I may go that route and and the factory plasic pannels later. I will make my own aluminum pannels and go from there. I should have the parts I need and have the build ready for Christmas. Time and money will tell. I'm trying to find Vantage carbon A-arms if anyone knows of any.

After looking at the Losi Muggy online. I think that it will be my next project for what ever cool offroad body comes along. I will use a carbon chassis to get the wheel base that will be needed to make it happen. Should be a wild build.

I ordered the 3.8 BFG Krawlers today. I also picked up a new esc to try. It's a SkyRC Toro-8S 150A ESC for 1:8 sensored/sensorless RC 2-6s LiPo+capacitors that I found on ebay. It's being shipped from china so it will be awhile before I see it. The tires are from NY so they should be here in a week. I got a smoking deal on them 55.00 set of 4 shipped!
