The weight lifters dumbbell in the back there. Do you use that to measure how strong your brushless motors are? I can't think of any other RC uses for such manuals.
I bet the LB can pull it on a wooden floor (or concrete)

For JD:

Here's how the servo is mounted at the axle..



And no, the axles are not tiny.. it is just the servo is pretty big.. (see it next to a standard size servo)

i'm quite impressed with the size of your servo lol...

is that the size it calls for? or is this another case of overkill?

LOL.. yeah.. it calls for the standard size servo, but Tamiya actually designed the kit to fit both.. on the manual, it shows that you can use optional giant scale servo.. also provided the servo mount for the big servo..

I had to do some Dremel work to get it all fit nicely, but it was well worth it.. 333 oz-in of torque.. LOL! Turn those big tires on any surface easily..
