when I am sober my heli is drunk..

Members,

Here's my 1/24 MAN 6x6 crawler built from Redcat Sumo electronics, Losi drive shafts, and some other parts from salvaged parts.

The body is a complete styrene, scaled, cut and fabricated to form this truck.
the leaf spring suspensions are made from a traxxas recoil spring and the chassis is a aluminum channel, which was cut from a 1"x1/2" rectangle tube.

The weight was an issue on the truck as it wasn't pulling itself on steep slopes, so that was taken care of by using a innovative new method in crawling.
I have ran multiple coats on the body, hence the paint isn't appearing to be what I intended, I will strip the body down and sand it over again to give it a fresh coat of Desert Camo or a Matte black tone.

Could you shed more light on this please?(I think I'm missing something)

AFAIK, Traxxas cars never came with leaf springs.

the axles come with a .....aaah..picture illustrations are better right???

This way you'll get a better understanding!!  Salute

I had 2 redcat crawlers one had a dead receiver board, so I made a center axle with 2 normal axles..
the center axle looks like this after joining 2 separate axles..(second picture for reference)
