But, hey, it's not my magazine(!), it's theirs! I say, then let 'em do their 10,000th T-Maxx feature instead!

That's a wild looking truck RC Jack! I'm downloading videos right now but I doubt they'll do all your work justice. Thanks for sharing!

Savage_Dias, the vids on that sight are only shakedown runs, nothing special 'cept for AC/DC.
I was gonna make new vids last week, but, nothing went right, and I mean nothing!
fourwheeler, CV's are OFNA up front, Thunder Tiger out back; the gearcases are my own design, as is everything else.

I got the impression that you milled a lot of that aluminum. Not ever done that. If so, what equipment you using?

The machine I have is a Smithy Granite combo unit.

Thanks, old ultima. I previously posted 2 links that show this truck in various stages of construction, both, with & without the body.

Last week, me and my son went to the track in Sarver, Pa and almost right off the start, I snapped the front stabilizer bolt, (3mm), ending that day's running. Since then, I've changed the front & rear stailizer bolts to 4mm. If these break, there's 5mm!
