great chassis man
if you gear it down i'm sure you could get it to pull a decent load.

He did, they don't sell 'em dual motor'd.
With tri Batts, I bet it'll haul some shit even with the tall gearing!

I have one that's pretty strong with the trailer and is decently quick without, right outta the box.

they dont sell dual motored ones its just 1 motor with a set of dead wheels off the back.
i took an old bit and chopped it up alot and slapped it on there
i am gonna use Blue gearing on all wheels and spring suspenion.
mabey a few more little details and by tomarrow or next day shell be totally done
and then when i get some air for my Testors airgun ill paint it nice black
i got the body and trailer for 5.99 at a discount food store in cali it was nice but i had to make it nicer
this is really a Zip chassi lol i just ditched the old one >.<

looking good man!
as soon as mine comes back from "doctor betty.k's house of idiot n00b repairs" ( i ACCIDENTALLY jumped it off the dinner table and messed it up BAD...) I'm going to 4wd my semi, 'cept i'm just using the stock single motor - (its faster than any of my 3.8's!)
I'm going to drop an extra idler gear between the two axles, so the driven axle splits the drive back to the second one.
Will post pics once i make it happen!
