so i think this is going to be ideal. here are some pics of the layout this way. this layout will require i use the 2215 since the 2230 is too long to fit.





here are a couple of pics of the 2230 that just came today. thing is a beast. it would be fun to try this motor just to see what would happen. not sure if i will be able to though.






i have a couple of questions about servos. i have been looking for a 1/4 scale high torque servo. the highest rating i have found is like 300oz which seems low for a truck this size. i have the standard size JR9100 HVT servo which is capable of 480oz. so it seems this would be the better choice or will it not work as well since it is a smaller servo? is it ok to use a standard servo as long as it has enough torque?
