Yeah, I thought it through and put the parts away, lol.

I have some traxxas parts and a RC10 tub with a traxxas transmission and rear suspension. Would I be out of my head to try and assemble a runner? I'm going to say yes, and pass on the idea.

I decided to save the RC10 pan and threw the Hawk rear end on an old dilapidated nitro rustler.

I got to looking at how dark the gear cover was and found a surprise there too. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v21...

So, I picked up another skinny tire #7001 truck to fiddle with.

I got a parts car. It's an 'A' stamp Cadillac that came with the wrong wheels and a green label Reedy stock motor.

It was a bad battery. LHS gave me a new one no questions asked and the truck zips!!!! Still no 2s yet. But I'll get there. I'm just enjoying the truck as is right now Good to hear. If you like it now, you'll love it on Lipo. This is why I hate ball diffs. You have to crank the crap out of them, to ...
