T is higher turn (23T, I think) vs. S at 19T.. so it depends on how fast you want to go, run time, etc.

Both should be able to handle 14.8V easily.. (and besides, cheap enough to replace when they are done.. !!)

Right - ok, just wasn't sure if there was more to it than that. Cool.

shocks 'matched' and mounted, in the end i just went with the brass ball connectors.

i have a few spare TA-03 TRF parts, and the TRF's (back in the day) used to use pink!


That's cool. I think Top Force or one of those racers (Dyna Storm?) back then came with a pink motor. Acto-Power motor?

Does anyone know if the stock 103BK ESC can handle dual S600s? Tamiya says 2 sport tunes (23T), so maybe not, as the S600 is 19T.

Hmm, was also thinking LiPo (2s) x2, and that might not work with this ESC either.

seeing as though i want this to have a more scale body, i thought i'd invest in some chrome rims to complete the look..

so its gonna have a Dual Hunter chassis..

Double Blaze rims..

and Twin Detonator body!!

blackfoot xtreme and twin detonator are the same except where the twin detonator has a second gear box, the blackfoot xtreme has a dummy gear box.

Its pretty fast actually, i wasnt expecting this much speed from dual silver cans! [8D]

Depends whether you want RWD/hardbody, or 4WD/lexan body... a fun truck for sure!

+1 on that question. That color would look good on my Parma Ford Ranger I have yet to paint.

I still have my Blackfoot Xtreme....I might be using it some later this coming next year.
I was too busy to play in the snow this year and it's already melted away...[:@]

All this is, is a Wild Dagger, Twin Detonator 4WD chassis I beileve.
Basically like our Xtreme's with the extra gear box on the front.
