Thanks its me.... I will measure the ring gear later and if they are within spec, I will order the LST-2 cases I found on ebay...

little more work done, I redid some pieces and cut the chassis. Its a bit wide but I am planning to bend up a 1/2 lip or maybe even tilt the bat trays up?

So ive been reading around on the suggestions from you guys, and think ill use the XL's because this truck surely wont weigh 10 pounds.
Thanks alot guys and any more suggestions are appreciated, like I said ima noob to BL.. Its like starting all over again in RC :lol:

'Tis an odd looking creation that, but I like the widened chassis rails to accomodate the center diff. I'd probably say put a small lip on the edge of each battery tray, and maybe tilt them upward slightly too, just for good measure.

hahaha thats exactly what I was planning to do, I just need to make sure that I can still fit a 4S in each side before I do it.

Re did more again, trimmed down the chassis and basically copied my mugens foot print. Still need to bend up the side of the chassis.

Still thinking aboot cutting of the side and replacing them with carbon fiber :)

Integrated skids are definately the way to go, though I would think about countersinking those screws so they dont snag on anything as you drive along.

Only thing that Im really curious about is how the shocks will mount up to the towers if you use those revo upper A-arms...

I am not sure yet of if im even going to use it yet, original plan was to make a mount to put cantilevers on there and mill the tops of the bulks down. an yes im going to counter sink the screws as soon as I pick up a new counter sink.

Fun
 

It is always fun to see someone working on a new build without restrictions due to resources like a mill and sheet metal equipment. Most of us do not have that ability depending on where we are located. I have to rely on simple hand tools or hand held power tools for whatever mods I can think of. Great job "its me" and don't get in too much of a rush. Take your time and go all the way with your work and skills. Keep up the good work.:lol: We look forward to seeing the vids once the job is completed.:party::yipi:

Thanks man, I am in the same boat as you. Everything was ruff cut with a jig saw then cleaned up with a file, if my little idea works out with the plastic bulks and cantilever's then ill take it to a shop to mill down the aluminum bulks. I think the best thing about this hobby is building them :)

LOL you talked about rushing, I try my hardest not to rush but yet I still end up impatient and really wanting to see it run. an yes video when done is a must:yipi:

little more work done and still waiting the the 7 xl's project is going slow but work has kept me away from it.

Also got integra making a little carbon/kelar for this bitch, the arms just might get chucked for some UE arms?

Always some nice UE stuff on fleebay, especially A-arm kits complete with knuckles- depends if you want to spend that much money though?...

Im a little confused on what is nesscay to do this conversion. If im reading correctly you're using an LS2 case and a muggy diff? Do you have part numbers for any of this Hate to be a hassle but im a little new to the 1/8 scale world.
