Rebirth of the MT.

[claude bigelow]

Well planned on waiting for the winter, but couldn't wait. So this what it looked like after a fun day in the park.





Here's some pics of what's done so far





Hummer body





Hpi wheels and Hostile tires





2spd installed

Nice. Stock servos?

Yep pulled the before for no reason so I figured I'll use them until they go bad. But for the throttle/brake I'm using Hitec 645.

I was just wondering, since you have the Losi truck in front of you, is it possible for the MT to have the losi diff lock installed with modifications?

I mean yeah it requires chassis drilling etc, might start a new project.

Just thinking loudly, is it doable?

Lookin good claude....stock steering servos are pretty good I'm going on over 2 years on them...keep the 2 speed in it and don't Frankenstein it like others suggest you got 2 losi ' s so u don't need to make it a losi style rig....my 2 cents....

If you read my post correctly, i didn't suggest changing anything. I asked a humble question since he has both rigs and he can give a clearer answer whether it might be doable or not.

And based on his answer I am going to study the feasability of a losi style rig on the xb. Since it was asked many times in the redcat improvement thread.

Not sure if that will work, just trying to get it back on the road. I would have to get some help if wanted to make that happen.

You really need to quit trying to climb trees with these MT's.

Tell me about it. Hopefully when I'm done I want try speed dating with no more trees.

Finally done. Couldn't figure out how to make Hummer body to work, so I went back to camo body for now.

I'll be testing it out tomorrow to see if everything is ok.

Well took it out today, and it was hauling a$$. But of course me being me I avoided the tress. I was doing some speed runs and smacked into a cement post in the middle of the open field. I have no idea why that was there, so back to the work stand it goes. I can't win with this truck, damage rear shock, rear lower arm and rear upper suspension arm.

That sucks man. I hate to see your truck like that. Are your brakes any good?

I can relate to that

Twice now I've been in the middle of nowhere and crashed into my own parked car

Yes brakes are good, I thought I would clear the thing and smacked it with the back wheel.
