Update:


~Sealed off the radiobox and ESC
~Relocated battery stick to rear (but ill be tearing it aparts and making saddlepacks outta it)

For the past day or two ive been having electrical problems with this thing, where the power seemed to have cut-out once in awhile to Fwd/Rev, but still having the steering work aswell as the LED on the ESC lit up. After resoldering new silicone wires to the motor with Deans connectors, changing over Xtals, Changing Rx's, Tx's etc trying to get at the root of the problem....ended up being the brand new motor at the terminals where wonky. Soldered the **** out of both the POS+ and NEG- terms and its back up and running. These crawlers are addtive as crack cocaine!! lol

Body will be a Hilux (70's Toyota) pickup from Tamiya which after some reasearch will run at 124.87 +taxes + S&H for it.
Ill paint it up with whatever color i decide on, but will detail it by applying rust to areas, and a winch to the bumper, etc...
