i have test fitted it for size in the beds of two other of my trucks, the truch shown above is one of the smaller ones and the plastic shell on the recever can come off..........with a li-poly cell it should not be a problem....( i am not going to use anymore multi cell packs...they are to big and heavy....)......anyway, i guess ill have to wait and see if the stuff fits when the trucks arive............


btw.......should i go for a trial truck or just a rc truck for crusing around the layout?


thanks for your concern and help with getting me started in this great hobby!:D:D:D:P

:ö: i would suggest for you to make a trial truck... with low gear ratio... i know you won't resist to try a 1/87 off-roading ;)

thats what i was leaning too........plus i can use a trial truck as a daily driver as well but a plain old rc cant do trials worth a didly squat!

thanks for the help!
