Since i posted those pics i completly dissasembled every screw on the truck and have it in 1000 peices right now. Getting ready to put a screw kit in and awaiting the arms to be shipped out. No reason this truck has to be out of commission for anymore then 2 weeks as far as i can see.Early feb for parts release so hopefully friday if not sometime early next week to get my parts in.
What a fun and very well layed out truck. The center brace actually holds the whole thing together along with the chassis so if you wanted all you have to do is remove the screws from the bottom of the chassis and you can remove the chassis. The rest of the truck will still be built and all together. It really is a very well thought out and built truck. Even the motor mount can be taken on and off the chassis without ever loosing were your mesh setting were. Diffs can easily be taken out with a matter of 6 screws for the front and rear, and 4 screws for the center diff so tunning the truck can easily be done.
Parts fit on my truck is very tight. No slack or slop in the steering (tightened the servo saver for this), any suspension component, no slop in or around any bearings. All hex hardware so if your a beginner or just not comfortable taking the whole truck apart you dont really have to worry about purchasing a screw kit. Hardware is very nice and easy to work with. So far the only thing i dont like on the truck is the servo saver. Its way to loose and definatly needs a stiffer spring. But you can just about crank down the stock one and get pretty good steering. Not the tightest of steering but tight enough i think to be able to race with it.
Overall I see no reason why this truck cant be a top competitor for the UMT class. Absolutely no flex at all in the chassis in stock form. Ive broken in my hpi 4.6 motor and this thing seriously rips. I know and so does that garbage can. Just instantly gets up and goes. Its a very easy to tune truck and is work on it friendly so even if your not an advanced rc person you still shouldnt have any problems changing diff fluids or shock, sway bars ect. Once you get the right setup on this truck theres definatly gonna be some new A main competition.
Thats my little write up on this truck so far. Hasnt seen the track yet but has proven to be very tough, and have a really good motor to push it around.
