Excellent truck! I'm just sketchy that the model base may not hold in certain conditions. Are you going to keep with the model bed, go for a more 'wood bed' thing, or make a custom rear to it?

Thanks man, the steering link I made from last update got broken during test run, so I made another one, and it doesn't have any bump steer.

if u ever sell this, make sure to include procedures to cure a feint, and also throw in a waterproof bag, for the person's drool to get into..
and tbh, it reminds me of a 1/10 scale cc01 idk why

I don't plan on selling this, so I don't have to worry about making a waterproof bag for it. :lol:

As on Scale 4x4, looks great. Good thing you didn't try the front leafs, its nearly impossible(atleast to me) Does shaving the servo mounting blocks for the rear leafs really make much a difference because one of mine keeps slipping whereas the other is held in good.

To make those servo mounting block hold better, you have to file them down till they turn to a flat smooth surface, because stock mounting block have a bumpy surface, thats why when the leaf flex, it will slip out of the mounts.

You've become an incredible scale builder, and I love seeing your stuff. One thing that keeps making the trip to XMS worth coming.
