Ok, so a year plus later...

I stole the center drive cvds out of this project to fool with the stampy 4x4. And now I am waiting on other parts for the stampy so I figured I would do some work to this truck.

Got the front bulk, and tranny swapped onto the bpp torpedo chassis. Since that chassis is more than 1" longer (maybe 2"?) this truck is going to get big!!!

I am sticking with the 3906 2 speed tranny, I really do not need something this size going 30mph, so the summit tranny will not be needed, Plus all of the linkages and everything else is a direct bolt in on the torpedo chassis.

I was running a 1/4 scale servo up front but have decided to run a pair of 9100t servos, 1 front and 1 rear. Should this not be enough to get the heavily weighted front wheels to move I can always run another 9100t on the front. These servos are more powerful than the hitec servos I currently use, so I figure it will be ok. Pretty sure a ccbec will handle these servos.

As for power I think I will stick with the axi 2826, and a MM on 4s. Seemed to do just fine. I do have a HW80 esc that I may try. I will still run a ccbec so I can turn the voltage up to 6.5v for a little extra push.

This truck needs to be wider. Thinking I will bake the tires off the wheels (really like the losi tires) and scare up some wheels with more offset than the stock lst wheels.

What options do I have? 17mm hex wheels would be good as I think I have enough 17mm adapters to go around. Not sure if I want to go full offset, but I am not near the truck so I am not sure how much offset the lst wheels have. These are regular MT size wheels, not 40 series.

Pics will be up when I get the truck back together.
