TXT-2 update 6 (Lethal Threat)

Here is (I think) the final update to my TXT-2. I'm still waiting for a body from the Monster Factory but it might be a while due to a lack of funds and an imminent return to my home country. So here it is, with a brand new runner body, and I shall call it the Lethal Threat :) , since the stickers I applied were from this brand and the logo fitted perfectly in my opinion. I got rid of the New Era wheelie bar, which was killing the scale look. Instead I re installed part of the rear bumper, and that will protect the rear of the body when I do wheelies. I've also added juggernaut hopped up steering links, so no more bending them, and I put the rear steering behind the axles. I've added a UBEC that sends the right voltage to both demanding Savox servos. The idea was suggested to me because the front steering is a lot weaker than the rear one when going forward, and the opposite happens when going backwards (same like what happens on stock Clod). That didn't solve the issue unfortunately so I'm still looking into it, but I do have some extra lights on the UBEC telling me how charged up (or discharged) the lipo battery is. And I like lights!! :). Oh and I also added some exhaust pipes on the sides. I hope you like it as much as I do, and if you have any ideas regarding what I could do for the steering, feel free to suggest them to me. Any comments are always welcome, thanks for looking!
before applying stickers, check out the exhausts!If you liked those pictures, you should see these...

I'm with IBIFTKH, Wicked looking beast is right on the money. The dark moody colours really suit it well.

Thank you sir i've messed up the paint job again though, lucky it's a runner. I didn't use tamiya paint and the one I used is cracking under, after tumbling a few times. So there'll be 7th update haha i'm already looking to buy a new shell, but the window and light decals are impossible to find. Might have to get a proline or parma body instead

Very nice indeed! Any update with the paintjob from the Monster Factory? They are very slow unfortunately. Have just paid subscription and re joined have you seen my brand new build? Its a TX-C2 (TXT-2 with Clod axles).

Thanks, Terry isn't feeling well lately so I'm still waiting. There may be someone else who could do it but, as I'm moving back to France in few months, I won't be spending any big RC money so soon. I'm off to your showroom to see your latest!

Yes Terry not to well at the moment plus Justin resigned recently so a one man band at the moment I think. I look forward to seeing update no.7 and good luck with your move back to France buddy.
