Is the transfer case a reduction unit or direct output
If its 1:1 I'd install a slower motor now.

The Tamiya 3 Speed has the Carson 20% gear reduction plate and pinion on it and the transfer box is 2.6:1 reduction, should crawl well!

So the prop shafts arrived!


Had to trim the two bottom casing bolts off for clearance:


I won a Wedico Low Loader #3 off eBay and a friend gave me his old Heng Long Leopard as a load:


Fits a treat!


Remade the cab rear wall and made a rescaled Thingiverse chain locker to house a 2S Shorty Lipo. I printed some rear wings off ThingiVerse but they wouldn't fit with my Lesu tyres so I designed and printed my own which use the damper mount holes to mount to the rails.


Nice and neat!

Pretty good build right there. Happy haulin'
P.S. If you want better steering, move the parallel steering rod behind the axle, it will turn much better.
