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. |

This is very cool, I must say!
Props to you for such a unique build. I will definitely be following the progress  -Travis Common sense, is not so common. |

Put on your waiting shoes guys, Lincpimp has left the hobby:(
It's "Dr. _paralyzed_" actually. Not like with a PhD, but Doctor like in Dr. Pepper. |

Linc is preoccupied with life and his baby at the moment. He doesn't even have time to give Harold a good poking anymore...

Yea Linc was one of the greats on here for years, but life does seem to take over sometimes. Trust me I know. 5 kids grown and on their own, but three more teenagers to go. James was one of the original conversion guys around here when turning nitro into electric was just getting started, and he came up with some of the more unusual vehicle setups for us to emulate. I know at one time he had over 100 R/C's sitting around his shop to play with, and about 30% of them were never even touched, because he just did not have enough time to get to them. Besides his new family life he still has his own Body shop to run and keep profitable. I am sure that he also misses poking fun at Harold and the rest of us as well. Maybe he will stop back in some day when his kid gets old enough for him to share his love for the hobby. R/C is just one of those things that you never really grow tired of. Some have taken breaks for a few years and then get the itch once again. Over on the UE forum we have had a few of the old school guys get back into it after 4 or 5 years of being absent. So there is always hope.
