Default Speed AND torque is possible in 4x4 trucks

Ok a while back we had a small discussion about the airplane motor/gearbox mod in the truck chassis. For the record I have a F150 chassis with a 1:24th scale Tahoe body that has full interior, a driver, not shown in the pics are a roof rack with a spare, a hilift jack, light bar, scale offroad details, running aoshima swampers, locked front and rear diffs, 4 rat shack rechargeable AAAs in the stock battery tray, and a GWS twinmotor mounted in the stock Xmod tranny. Given it took alot of dremel time to get it to fit but I can still mount a bone stock non cut xmod truck body on the chassis with stock mounts. just to clear up the questions here is the truck. And for the record this rig weighs 14.7 ounces with the batteries and all the gear.





This is the motor.



This is a shot of what it can do on deep pile carpet.
