Well if it makes you feel better, I WANT to get it finished so I can play and get some videos.


The truck is set up with blue gear crawler, long travel front suspension, massively increased steering throws for tighter turning, reversed offset rims, wheel weights, clearanced pcb cover...

The body features a 36159 lighting board (the smallest one), 4 LEDs, an IR Rods single channel board with sensor poked through roof, the roof has top racks, the front has the start of a Hawse Fairlead between bumpershell and grille... Will eventually get a winch drum mounted up front, front and rear recovery points, and stick some offroad junk in the top racks (Gascans, Hi-Lift, pick, shovel...) so my IR recciever isn't lonely.

The transmitter was a 49mhz ZZ-M, it now features a steering wheel button for right/left control, a pair of microswitches in the upper surface that are protected when charge cover is closed, an LED shroud on the left side, and a cut down IR Rods TX circuit board inside
.
I've got to either swap a stock 49 mhz ZZ-M board in, or an inductor off the bad board in my Articulate Beast then give that one a smaller board wo- lighting port. I'm also condering lowering the PBC deeper into the chassis to gain a little more clearance as it's pretty tight with all the junk in the trunk.
