Here is my latest creation. I have been working on it for a long time, but finally found the Chinese company that could help my dream come true.
More details to follow. |

| I'm not sure yet. I have them on my E-maxx, and they are OK for now. I will try my Savage in a few weeks. |

| Those are cool if they work on a Savage without tearing apart. |

| They are the tracks for a radio shack truck. Just a fun idea to have something differrent. It actually works great with the E-Maxx. I'm going to replace the plastic parts with aluminum, so my 8 year old can fool around with it. |

It would be interesting to see if they would hold up. How did you mount them? Theres a post going on RCMT on them and they had trouble with them flipping.
Any chance of some close ups? I have thought of them on my Twin Force, would be cool in the winter. |

| You have to make a tongue and groove system for the axle carriers that takes up the torque. That is how it doesn't flop around. The engineer at Radio Shack did a pretty good job designing this thing. But they used cheap plastic for the truck part. |

This one looks better ont he HPI MT or MT2. The tracks look bigger.
It also looks like it will be easier to modify this one.[/list] |

| I was at radio shack last monday and saw that truck and the first thing I thought of was how to convert it to my Savage and play in the snow with it. But looking at I decided that the Savage would kill it too fast. |

maybe it should just stay for stadium trucks..... I have a feeling that withthe weight of the savage and the torque and power, youll have constant problems... another idea, try to make different treads for different terrain.... just a thought |

| I can make a movie in a few weeks, I'm still working out the bugs. I'll probably leave it on the stadium truck. |
