Here's my latest creation, the TT3, based on a TC3. It has a threaded wing mount, custom racing tires, custom low profile truggy suspension, blue aluminum hex adapters (in the rear only to make it wider), blue aluminum screws, carbon A-Arms all around, carbon shock towers, steering rack bearings, steel turnbuckles, and more. Yesterday, I got it off a jump & it flew 5 feet in the air & landed like a 1:8 truggy! Tell me what you think or if you have any suggestions. Action pics coming soon, when the snow clears.

Well, two threads, same thing, I'll just post my progress on both!
I purposely broke the rear wheels with a hammer to CA glue a fresh foam tire in the rim. Not only is it glued in securely, the tire is also compressed, making the tire even more securely attached to the wheel. In doing this, the wheel is much sturdier and it also has a hex to make the TT3s acceleration and handling as superior as a 1/8 scale truggy. Got it up to full throttle, which is at least 40 mph, with a 27-t stock motor!

you may want to increase your track width just a tad
