It looks very good, andvery nice video too !I like itwhen you can see the suspension action, and it does look like it's going to work well!
Iwas not sure when looking at the video, does the shocks have dampening right now ?
It looks like it is going to be lightweight for its size!

You have right! The shocks doesn't filled with oil yet, we need little modifications in it. Lightweight? Maybe, it will be about 30-35 Kg (~ 16 lbs)

RE: Custom Built R/C Trophy Truck - Project Mammuth
Anybody has experience about this servo? GWS S777 6BB
Parameters: 35kg @ 4.8V, 42Kg @ 6V, 6 ball bearings and as I see plastic gear
. It's looks like strong enough to handle the sterring and much cheeper (~ $80) then the Tonegawa...
Is the GWS servos good?

Nice you just need better shocks and I would put sum bump stops on the trialling arm so you don't brake any thing.

Yes, you have right, we've planned bump stops from rubber both to the front and rear suspension. The car also will have a belt on the rear suspenion, prevent huge falling forces to break away it...

RE: Custom Built R/C Trophy Truck - Project Mammuth
Nice it will be like a true pre runner. So i'm guessing the belt your talking about are limiting straps. limiting straps keep the suspention from over extending and breaking suspention components.
Cant wait to see it done,you could throw a yz 85 motor in there and it would be intence.can't wait to see it finshed with vids I hope.

Yes, you're right, I'm talked about the limiting straps Sorry.
After it's done (who knows when ) we're making a lot of videos... I plan an 6-8 hour endurance run with this monster

I am really enjoying your build. Nice work.
Quick question about the shocks. Who makes those? Or what are they off of?
Thanks,
-Bob

RE: Custom Built R/C Trophy Truck - Project Mammuth
Hey man I'm starting to think about how to set up the rear swingarm on my car.
Just wondering, where is the pivot point on your build?
Looks to me like it's almost in the middle of the car?
("Middle" as in "half the wheelbase".)

honestly we didn't measure/calculate that.
You are right.. it's almost in the middle of the car.

Hi everyone!
The engine is fitted into to the car's frame, we've shortened the chain to it's correct size, modified the exhaust. The car now also have a front bumper. The rear brake is nearly done, we need a new console for it...

RE: Custom Built R/C Trophy Truck - Project Mammuth
Very nice work!About the color question, I think a lighter color would show more of the details of the frame so I prefer the green frame one.
