I came across a heavely modified t3 for cheap the suspention is mounted on a pretty thick aluminum chasseis. I think I am going to use the steath gearbox on my blackwidow rc10 so I can go brushless. I may pass along the rest of the t3 parts to those that need them.
This critter as best as I can describe it appears to be made up from at least 3 rc vehicles. The suspention and drive train look like t3 there is the rear part of a tamiya grasshopper for makeshift rear body mounts for a vw baja bug body and the unknown to me chassis that is possibly fabricated. The PO said he had built it years ago for a wheelie bug.
pics soon.
