Ok, I could NOT stand it any longer, I just HAD to drive one of these Buggys. So, a Buddy and I worked for a while on the Wide Trac, and got it running. Nothing worthy of pics, so I'll just tell you about it for now. I feel bad about this part, but I used a Traxxas 2018 Servo and a Stinger Motor, BUT I JUST HAD TO DRIVE ONE!!!

As for the rest, I used an extra Futaba ??122?? Reciever I had laying around, the Futaba Tx from the Trophy Truck, and a Duratrax 16t Intellispeed ESC. I charged up a 2100mah batt, and headed for the street, giggling like a lit-tle gurl. It still has the Road Rages on White Velocity looking Wheels its picture with earlier in this thread. Its Geared 87/22. It was REALLY quite, but not very powerful or fast, as it is, but it was AWESOME to drive. I let my Buddy drive (BUT ONLY FOR A MINUTE

). We had a little fun with it, and I just had to go show the Wife, I FINALLY got one of those "damn cars Ive been working on for a year" running. I sat it down just inside the door, and drove it into the livingroom. As you can imagine, she was barely impressed, but my 7 yo Boy said, "OOOOoo, IT WORKS!!". As if he doubted me all along. So, FINE, I went back out to the patio (can you see it coming?). I drove it back and forth, did a few Figure 8s, marveled at the Arm movement on the sticks, and cracks in the cement, then WHAM, right into the Bowflex. I, of course, had "bumped" a couple other things, but this time, the Steering QUIT. Upon inspection, we found the Bellcrank broken where the Ball Stud went in. I knew it was "split" when I started, but Hey, I was "gonna be careful". And you know what, IT WAS WORTH IT!!! It'll be fix in the morning, and and probably "tweaked" a bit....diff motor, diff servo, etc.
Can you tell how excited I am?

Yes, LOOONg winded ....AGAIN!!!
