I see no motor in the rear, are the back wheels going to have their own motor, use the other one too, or none?

Thanx for the compliments... I am just using the cardboard to see what the truck is going to look like and as a template for the plates of diamond aluminum. I am going to use another 17x1 in the rear geared 15-87 like in the front. I will have Traxxas Blue Aluminum shocks on all the corners, Losi Orange springs all over, Rpm 5x11bb carriers in the other transmission too. Most of those hop ups are already in the front 4 tires and wheels. I am going to use some 14 gauge wire to connect 1 motor to the other by sautering it from the first motor with the esc connectors to the + and - on the second motor. I am going to use Hpi 5 star black rims and Imex Road Dawg 2.2 inch puller tires... http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

In the back of rcca, there was an ad for sheets of kevlar which would be easier to work with instead of the thick diamond plate, it costs 23.99 for 8x18" of carbon/fiber, and 25.99 for the kevlar 8x18", but it isnt in any of the recent rcca catalogs. But i think the idea is good, do something about the top piece being body clipped, thats a weak point. Good luck with it, it looks really cool.

I am going to use the diamond plated aluminum because it is what I was set on...
I am planning on doing a bigger hole over the top part of the shock tower so it has flexibility and wont break off the nubs. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Thanx for ideas though
