I've decided to also build an RC crawler. I plan on making it look as much like my blazer as possible. I should have my TLT-1 on the 28th so then construction can begin. My first question is:
Does anyone know where to get a stampede tranny? I cannot find one anywhere.

Go to ebay... type stampede transmission, and you will find what you want. I saw like 4 or 5 on there That is where I sourced almost all my parts to build my emaxx.

Got a few parts in today. I recieved the stampede tranny, lower links and the 55t lathe motor. I should have the TLT tomorrow and hopefully the chassis. I should also be getting this sweet body:

Like the body..got my pede tranny in tonight and I finished locking it up before 2000taco came over and I helped him install his CB. Just waiting on my 55T lathe...
Which lower links did you go with? I'm really looking forward to seeing that parts list coming with the chassis.

I got the ones off the t-maxx. I think there 109mm. Are they the ones that the SW2 chassis calls for as lowers? I know we talked about the uppers being the stock ones...

I wrote this to James, but I think you may need to join him. You just might need "RCA", "Radio Controlled (Rock Crawler) Anonymous"! LOL

Well, Project Replicate is a rolling chassis. TOnight it moved under its own power. However, its still on stock size tires, and it could not even pass the first gate of my comp course... The flex is as good as the squirrell. Right now, he just needs tires and a way to mount the body, other than that....it is ready to go! Too bad it looks like a chevy and it will just break the first time through my course.....
Tonight, it spit out a driveshaft and it was taking the easy lines...
Honestly though, I expect it to perform as well as mine. So really, its up to the driver.
