Default Project 1/5 scale Monster truck!

This is my page. I am attempting to build a 1/4-1/5 scale 2wd monster truck. I will probably attempt to convert it to a 4x4 later...if I can pull off the 2wd first. I just started ordering parts but I will be updating frequently.

wht are you gona use to drive the axles? i started making something like this, it used self propelled lawn mower axles, 3/8" universal socekts, telescoping axles, and i had the 4 link made. i stopped working on it when i got a real car. if u IM me on aim @ sn Isphius, or pm me, i can help u with anything. i have a lot of experience with home made gizmos like these. what are you going to use to power this thing? i had a 4 stroke overhead valve weedwacker sized honda motor, those motors really make some torque compared to weedwackers, and they run forever on a tank of gas. i used one to power a scooter and i still have another. i definatley recomend those motors. i never got a clutch worked out, but i would have found something if i continued this project. i also couldnt find any suitable wheel hubs at the time.
