1/18 ttt why not?
 

well i masterd building 1/87 ttt well not masterd but i build 2, i build two 5 man t one with a front and rear winch there awsome, but im thinking about building a 1/18 versoin now.
but heres my plan. or some what of a plan
i just got my first mini-t (1/18)(i also put a 7.2 battery pack in it) to buddy with my 1/10 cars
so i was looking for parts at my hobby store and a couple websites like tower hobbies and seen that they are selling receavers,stearing servons,speed controls and all types of things to re-build my mini-t so i thought, i could build a 1/18 ttt, it should be easy, probaly easier then 1/87 becease 1/87 is so small and 1/18 is bigger
so i was thinking to buy some electronics,
and a 1/18 army body (my hobbie shop has them)
and get some matieral like a sheet metal (like the chasis on a 1/10 nitro like that metal)
and start to measure out a chasis a size that will fit the army body
and some type of mount (like team losi mini-t extended body posts maybe,)
and then start to put the electronics together on the side so evereything will be hooked together, when it comes to mounting all the electronics in the truck it will be set,

one thing i havent figures out yet is the gears motor should be easy thoe,

id suggest to use the team losi 7.2 battery pack for this

well heres my stuff so far realy havent figured it all out yet thoe, if you have any ideas or anyhting post them here please
id love to do this,
and if you have any questoins just post them hear or e-mail me atsswat102@aol.com
thanks
bye

kinda forgot this whole truck if you/i buildit would not be all team losi mini-t just alot of parts would be usefull,
like
gearing
battery pack
maybe tires
suspensoin/shocks/foam inserts/springs/ect
shock towers
and gears! id use gears haha
would all be good products to use from team losi but the electronics are mad eby diffrent companys wich would offset it form being a mini-t with a with a army truck body on it.
for A MOTOR- id use a trinity monster motor msrp is about 29.99 its a nice powerful motor i put in my mini-t
also it would be a cool idea if someone got a body where the hood opens so it would be awsome to put a battery pack in the hood with extended plugs (probaly have to make extended plugs)and drilled hole threw the cab to get threw to to the speed control.
and im guessing to use a velcro maybe to mount the receaver and speed controll and the electronics,
well heres my ideas far
whats yours?
