If both are being used on the same RX then one of them needs to have the red wire pulled. I would recommend using whatever ESC has the better BEC to power the RX and servo and pull the wire on the other one.

Then if they are the same just take a red wire out of one of them then. Doesn't really matter which one.

Yes you can. But depending on how much current is being pulled I would suggest ditching the Tamiya connector for a better quality.

That looks great so far
Is it going to have a drop axle like the 1:1 or are you mostly after the paint scheme?
I think she will need a set of Steves killer pete ovals for wheels.

Ok. Just watched the vids. I love the actual working hyd versus the screw drive set ups. And that answers my drop axle question.... Got no more room for more gizmos right? Lol

the hydro tank could be located under the pass door and the ums pump
could go somewhere else to fit a drop axle. for now the passenger tank
holds the oil and the driver tank has the pump
