Yes

Today the truck went on its maiden voyage! First impressions: it's very quiet, except for the motor and tires, and the rear belt skipping. The front belt is tensioned by no less than 2 springs, and the rear belt has a fixed tensioner which needs to be tightened. Previously the belts were skipping A LOT but has been mostly fixed with two rods connecting the front/rear shock towers to greatly reduce chassis flex.

Pics should be up tomorrow, and vid will be posted sooner or later.
