That would be sweet if they re-released the Mammoth.

Longhair

Are you going to build the Tundra up like the Top Gear one?

The Hedgehog

Hilux, Longhair....

lee172

seriously?

Longhair

Not everything is RC related [X(]

Lunchboxer

Ha, I got the Hilux, Longhair!!

I think the shell looks great as is.. but can use a larger tires.. to be more Bruiser like!! But I am not sure what to use yet... [>:]

Longhair

You can't go wrong with the Pro-Line Dirt Hawg.

lee172

i think the Tundra is by far the best looking.

Lunchboxer

I like the look of the Hilux the best.. more old school..

Tundra is too fat.. maybe it is just the front bumper that came with it?!

Longhair

You're all wrong.

F-350

Lunchboxer

Ha ha, for me, it is Hilux > F350 > Tundra

The Hedgehog

I think the Ford looks the best.

Lunchboxer

Would be cool if the Ford is crew cab... !!

lee172

ditto! [8D]

Lunchboxer

And use the Jugg 2 / TXT beefed up drivetrain!!

(since it was riding on the Jugg 1 stuff..)

Although there's probably no point as the Dump Truck is only powered by 1 motor.. not 2, like Jugg 1 / 2 / TXT...

Longhair

2nd motor = more torque

It wouldn't make sense if they went with only 1 motor this time.

Lunchboxer

LOL.. yeah, but the Dump Truck wasn't meant to go fast, I guess that's what I am trying to say...

It uses the same gearbox, axles, etc. Just that only 1 motor is installed, and the other opening is blocked...

Lunchboxer

Let me re-phrase.. it is not 100% identical.. the gearing is slightly different.. to slow it down.. but it is basically the same.. the axles are identical, etc. smaller pinion..

Lunchboxer

LOL, Longhair is working w/ Charlie on crazy project at the main forum again..

See how long before the thread got deleted..

Longhair

What would be even better is a 3 speed dump truck with 2 motors.

Tons of torque when the thing is full while giving it speed after it dumps the load.

lee172

huh?

Lunchboxer

LOL, and add MFU to it, etc. hee...

Lunchboxer

Go check out the new thread by Longhair.. about Hybrid drivetrain..

Good idea.. nitro + BL!

Longhair

I need a challenging build.
