got some more work done on the one i got as a roller. got the steering binding issues fixed, tank mounted, elects all sorted and mounted. now i just need to run fuel lines and she will be ready to fire. then in the long run get a different pipe for it.

got the other one i didnt have pictured before swapped over to the 3.3 chassis. still debating putting the 3.3 stock axles shafts and hubs on it or just leaving the 2.5 hubs and axles, i guess we will see how it does first.

Does the one above have the motor for a 2.5 or 3.3 setup in it? Will it just tear up 2.5 shaft and hubs?

its the 3.3 motor in it. it wont necessarily tear them up as its the later version of the 2.5 with the heavier duty a arms, hubs, and shafts, and the originally chassis these came off of had the 3.3 motor on it for a long time. main reason i was thinking of doing it was just to give it the whole 3.3 look.

well got everything buttoned up the elects sorted, now i just need an air filter assembly and crystal plug

all 4 of em just need a few parts to get the 2 on the left running. air filter assemblies on both, and front bumper mounts on the 2nd from left.

tentative bodies for them. the powerwagon needs painted, and the hard body chevy on the left will only be there for a bit, need to find something else to put on it.

and eventually these 2 will have a different body as well, but for the time being the stock bodies will work

Have you run it with and without that long yellow stinger? I've always found that they kill top end performance quite noticeably.

I've ran stingers for a while on the tmaxxes and haven't really seen an issue. I will be trimming it down some as it doesn't need to be that long.

is that going to have eyes and be "Cars" inspired?
