I will be using a standard size high torque servo. This one is just being used for mock up.

Reg , you should be good with the 645 servo . thats all I have on my mack . It fusses a little sitting still loaded but running no problems .

Yeah I think so Steve. Use the same in the R18 with no problems and it runs a 6lbs battery right over the axle. This trucks steering is very similar and I doubt if it will be any heavier on the nose.

Started on the rear suspension today... Still a lot to do.

I made a little more progress on the rear suspension and frame today. It takes a long time to machine all these little parts when you don't know what you're doin! I think I am learning as I go though which is good!
