Instead of the shocks, I could get a pair of wheels

Sounds good. Tyres like my Pro-Lines sound like the best option for your speed efforts. Paid through the nose for them though.

These tires are great, using my points trick I can get a pair for free

Servo tape
Shocks or wheels + BEC

I googled and asked about the problem with my servo, the results say that I need a BEC for it, so I'll get a 5V 5A one

i think i found the next driveshaft to break



(the pins are meant to be inline)

doing burnouts

the center driveshaft came so now its 4WD
i wonder how it will drive with the big wheels

drove it, the tire held up great, no re breaks
4wd is fun
with the added rotational torque of the front wheels it can now do complete back flips from a stand still but i don't want to do them in case i :

• kill the tires
• kill the rims
• kill the diffs

Q:What has 8 wheels and 16 shocks?
A:My plan for this car
on shapeways, there is a diff case for HSP stuff that has two outputs/inputs so I was thinking of making an 8X8 Dakar truck, with HSP brontosaurus suspension arms for two shocks per wheel
I will get a lower kV motor to handle the extra wheels, I was thinking of a 1000-2000 kV. I will also have another servo so both sets of front wheels steer.
