I've been working on this truck for a while now and it's finally finished! Overall, I found it easy and enjoyable to build . I was using a 4 channel stick radio and found everything to be very glitchy, but after switching over to my MX-3, I loving driving it. The only thing is I no longer have 2nd gear. The leaf springs are very stiff, even when built softest possible. I've been experimenting tring to make a 4-link setup but, as of yet can't perfect it. The stock steering servo location is on the side of the truck and uses lots of linkage, I moved the servo to the front with just a straight link and it took care of a lot of play. I opted to use HPI spike rims and Imex 2.2 claw dawgs.To make them fit I had to do a 1/4in body lift. Now on to the pics, hope you guys enjoy them!

Wish I could take credit for the beautifully painted body, but I can't. It was done by our talented Candyman. Just want to say thanks again for the beautiful job! :bow:
 
It looks great, can't wait to see it with a four link set up.
 
Thanks for the project, Joe. It was a pleasure to help you with it. It looks awesome!
