Default RE: Tamiya TXT-2 Agrios Build thread

Nothing? Whatever I'm posting anyway.

The TXT-2 uses 19t pinions because of the smaller wheels and tires. I picked up two 15t 32p pinions yesterday, as that is what the TXT-1 uses....because that truck used the proper tires!

I will be using clodbuster rims, haven't decided on tires yet. I have 2 choices I've narrowed it down to, both from RC4WD. Nice scale looking stuff resembling the clodbuster/TXT-1 tires, but with foams and a softer compound. Also a bit lighter in weight.

Also grabbed a hitec 645MG for steering, I may add 4 wheel steering later. Gotta see how it works with one servo first. Also grabbed a y harness for the twin cooling fans (which aren't here yet), and I should have the clodbuster hubs and wheel shafts today. As for the truck, well it was on a plane last night, so I'm kind of hoping it shows up by Saturday.

This thing is costing a small fortune already .

I'll start with the stock body...how about a metal flake layer followed by flourescent green? Something loud. It's a freaking monster truck.
