I orignally had a very different construction method but really didn't like the way it was coming a long. I wanted to make it from brass and solder it together but it was proving difficult with limited machening tools avaible, so hears what i had before scaping it and moveing to full alli.

This is the 1st day i had everything sufficently together to run my 1st test.

A major problem i discovered here was because of my design i had needed to lengthen the dog bones by 2mm and the toque in the drive was snaping them at the joins. As it turns out i no longer have a pic of my shotty workmanship in this case.

New 120amp ESC came a few days ago and was finally able to see the truck running



Ended up having to make a few upgrades like new 20kg steering servos on the front and back and make solid alloy steering arms while i was at it.



Also upgraded drive shaft to stainless steel from brass
