This is the truck that just plain has issues. The fact that there is even a body on it right now is a mystery. It has as much suspension throw as it's gonna get, but with the stock springs, it doesn't even move anyway, so until I find softer ones... also, the drive gear, since it's been moved to the middle of the chasis, it has nothing to keep it off the ground, and because it hangs so low, its destined to get caught up on things.
Also, seriously under powered. It runs on three cells, but it's just not geared low enough to matter, and because the motor is under the PCB, raising it even a little to get some more gears in there is gonna be tough.
The body (dubbed Caged Fury) was lengthened about 1/8 of an inch to accomodate the batteries that now sit where the steering motor is (front and back). I'll get some pics once I get the batteries for the still camera.
I haven't given up on it completely, I'd still like to see articulation and lower gearing, just not sure if I can do it in such a small package. I'm thinking it needs to be built from the ground up with those ideas in mind.
