Updated Pics of my TXT-1 Project.

Here it is! I have to stretch her a bit still using Woven Carbon Fiber arrows with threaded inserts, mount the Pede tranny, I have a 1/4 scale servo I don't know if I'm gonna use that or get a powerful 1/10 scale servo. Then the electronics!!! NOVAK GTB Brushed, Brushless speedo w/NOAK 7.5 Brushless motor and IB 4500's with matched #'s like 1.218's, 7 cells!! It's good to have an onroad battery man still! It came with aluminium dohickies that go on the axle's, the look like they have little stop sighns on the end of them. IDK! Tell me what you think!!

OK, so I was home from work today due to the rain and I decided to make some mods. I got three Carbon Force Dominator 400 arrows and end inserts from the hunting and fishing store near me and decided to make longer links. I needed an inch to accomodate the Revo axles. I asked a pro at these things and he said go 1 1/2'' in the rear and just 1" in the front. So I did. I cut the arrows with a grinding wheel on my dremmel and used 24 hour, 3,500psi eppoxy to fix the end caps. The wheel base is now a full 16" from axle to axle! Now I understand all the hype about these Tamiya Monsters, this thing is sick!!

Looks pretty cool just sitting there, even without a painted shell.

That 10th scale GT looks great with the #8 paintjob. Looks like it gets some use too. I miss my Losi XXX-T with a 5.5R brushless system. Pretty quick on crappy 6cell pack.

Some more updates. I got the tranny in. I have to take it out again though I think. I didn't lock the diff, I don't know what this will do if I leave it with a center diff or if I lock it. I have a standard diff in the front and the rear is locked. I also decided to use the slipper rather then use the fixed spurgear adaptor that came in my trade. I got the electronics in, just need some longer wires to go from the speedo to the motor. I removed the receiver from the case and wraped it with 2 battery shrink wraps, it doesn't do anything, just looks cool.{Kinda makes me think of the Terminator} I plan on using this truck for racing more then crawling so I needed a swaybar. With the stock swaybar, I needed to drill holes in the lower links. Being as I just made them and didn't want to go drilling holes in them, I used some Touring car tech. to come up with a good swaybar system. All I have to do to go crawling in some serious terrain is just pop off the swaybar and all that articulation is back! BTW, Rock Spyder, I will be intouch with you soon. I have a two year old and my Pitbull had 12 puppies so it's been alittle crazy over hear. Whats our time difference?
