And here are the pics I promised like three weeks ago. This is my buddies, and since it is ugly, but works I call it Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...
I cut apart the stock plates, used a Kyosho Ultima trans (has gear diff), 'pede axles and bearings. Traxxas links, MGT shocks and recently switched to Losi white springs. Tobee 24mm widners and alum servo mount. A Hitec 645mg will take orders from a Jr xr2 and a Ai speedo teels the 55t how fast. No body yet, but will run a bushwhacker some day. Hope you like!
