Update:
I covered the tires in WD-40 like 10 times, got the body mounted, raised the electronics and batteries, and have some nice pictures: The torque is amazing, combined with Li-Po it crawls decently, and goes off-road like a pro. Its ground clearance is decent, but I am still getting an off-road kit. I have to raise the body a little bit as well, so I'm getting some hardware. The electronics is wrapped in electrical tape and hot glue at the moment, so wait for some final updates. I also installed the AWD, and locked the differentials, which was a headache in itself. I hate installing AWD... The 180 is a total beast. I'm also putting a lightbar on top, so my ideas are done yet To do: Lift a little bit more Off road kit Get a video Install LEDs Lay some paint and me and STL have something brewing for this project, so just wait. Video up soon...

Little update, moved the batteries up front to balance out some weight for some better rock crawling. I took a couple of videos, but they're total sh!t due to the darkness, and the relative crapiness of my camera, mom wouldn't let me use hers
I got a video of it running around, although you can't see it, it just powers over little rocks, and sticks, and stuff to that effect. That crunching you hear occasionally, is it just eating up the stem of some plant. Still need an offroad kit. I'm putting off this whole STL and me joint paint job cause I'm missing a headlight, 3 holes in the body and some other stuff. Just for reference: Heres a video (no body because I lent all my lift stuff to mm9295 for his f150):

it's a 180 heli motor. Haha, it is zippy, and real fun to use.
On my bro's itouch so I can't edit What do you guys think of two motor cradles? One with an hs55 the other for mudding (180 motor) I have to completely water proof itso it can actually go mudding, not moisting :-p

I bought it off of Mustanglover, and today I should have a better video up
So just wait a little while. Nice try, but I'm pretty sure protons are much more bad ***.

I think that the truck looks great and the idea about the hs55 motor pod
and 180 pod is a great idea but you can still use the same motor pod just put deas plugs on the ends of the motor wires for easy changes and you should hace a stock batt pack so you do not burn up the hs55 with the lithium just my 2 cents and keep it up
