Well after getting a 3 channel radio and receiver, and a better ESC, and doing some extensive cutting on the bed and moving a frame cross member, I got it all together and was off to the races. After about 10 minutes of crawling I noticed my front end was getting sloppy. Passenger side front tire was flopping around and so was the front driveshaft. When I got the metal version about 60% of the bolts were loose, but the exterior axle bolts were all tight so I didn't take them apart, which apparently I should have.
I also discovered it's back to the drawing board for the steering. Sitting static it turns equal amounts in each direction, but this thing puts out so much torque the body twists one direction in drive and the other direction in reverse so I'm considering mounting the servo on the axle. I hate to do that though because it would take away from the full scale realism, which is what makes the truck appealing. Pic isn't my truck but it's the metal version I have, and Indy with a bottle of Jack is kewl.
