Wow, that looks great. But, I don't think the HL truck frame will have the balls to pull that. Have you thought about taking the running gear from a different crawler? I (or at least Harley did) put the gear from a Temper 1/24 crawler under a 1/18 halftrack i had modified into what I call my "fake scout car" and it worked quite well. You might be able to still use the HL frame, just upgrade the axles and motors.
I really hope you can pull it off, Son of, because I'd just love to see video of that Bad Boy cruisin' around under its own power.

I am either going to use 4 servos and run slow speed or I am going to run 4x micro geared motors and direct drive.
As for steering axles I am not powering the front wheels. But for different angle steering use twin servos and different length steering arms.

One of the things I truly love about this hobby of ours is the education I've gotten along the way. And not just in radio control, but also things like photography, video editing, 3D printing (still goin' to school on that one), and even how paintball works.Son of a gun-ner wrote:

May your spree never end, Bro, you're gonna have a ball along the way and I think with any man, the more education the better, right?
