Amazing looking build!!! Looks like it's going to be a beast!

Hi Ken,

Looks great so far. How much will it weigh when it is completed? Do these axles have limits? Colin

Any updates Ken?

I finally have some updates. Finished the front axle assembly and got it installed. I did a much better job on the upper and lower housing plates compared to the rear ones. Experience does help! Anyway, now I feel I'll have to redo the rear ones, since they are move visible.

More updates. I had a General Discussion item asking about Steering Servo Interference from the Drive Motor. With help from our great forum tech gurus, I installed a couple of Ferrite Core Chokes on the servo lead and it solved the problem. The truck easily carries 35 pounds (barbell weights) and performs well. Yes, I know I owe everyone a video - hopefully soon. I have never posted a video before, so I'll have to learn how to do that. Anyway, here are the update pics.

Glad to see updates. Been wondering where this truck went.
