Nice truck! Any chance of seeing the chassis layout without the body? Does it fit a traditional lipo or require a shorty pack?

 

[luke66]

Traditional 3S. Ill Grab pics soon.

Will this work with the 272R tranny?

 

[luke66]

Need one to test

I want to think it would as it mounts the same as the 272 does.

 

[luke66]

it does. just not sure if I could sand the bottom off.

Yeah, I’ve swapped 272R’s into all my Slash’s, they mount exactly the same. That tranny was the best and most meaningful update Traxxas did in 20 years.

Just took out the Tekno M6 axles and put in (inferior) MIP X-Duty shafts.
But, I did unlock the diff. I expect better handling now....

Sorry not trying to derail the thread but yeah that and the most recent updates they did as well.

Lol, I'll get some soon, the car looks MUCH more beat up now than it did.

 

[luke66]

Got pics in!

 

[luke66]

Update. Added some camber links in as a chassis brace. Much more sturdy now. Need some new tires and a new body, but this build is getting closer to finished. I’m thinking maybe a Jato arm conversion?

 

[luke66]

Updated some pics. Still thinking of Jato arms…..
