She uses it for Tupperware so I reckon I can too.
 
PERZACHLY !!! ,, Tupperware 🤣 with this awesome power I'm about to harness in there , is metal diff cases and carriers a must or what ? Any help on what's required to handle this beast is very appreciated , I've contacted Uber rc in the u.k. , I'll be getting some Taylor rc wraps done by them , to put on the 30°north body , I'm thinking blue body with some green n yellow background , that way if it gets more than 15 ft. Away I'll be able to possibly see it still

I'm moving right along on ordering parts , engine is home next Tuesday , ordering the diff carriers and tower combos from Taylor on Friday , I'm kinda on the fence with what size Taylor Genesis tires to put on this thing the 3"or the 2' , also I'm no gear guru , anybody familiar with this kinda beast , I could use some help in that are
 
Mike can help you with gearing once you figure out what tires you’re running.
This is what I went with, gearing for the Taylor 55 and 65 were the same. I bought both but running 30/54 on my 55. With brp 3” knobbies

29/56

Yes , he steered me to the 30-54 also , I'm still undecided on 3" or 2" tires , those 3's blew out a servo on my Taylor VEKTA5 , alot to turn and I've got dual servos on it , that is a awesome truck you have there , it's basically what I'm trying to get to , I'll be going with the same body also , can't wait to get it all together , but mostly can't wait till I'm done working to earn it , working a lot more than usual , to earn this thing , Taylor chassis , 50gt engine , Taylor diffs carriers , towers , and center diff also , not messing around with this build , thanks to this forum and it's marketplace I'm able to sell stuff to help with the costs , I'm thinking this is the pinicle of my hobby , or insanity or addiction 🤣🤣🤣😂😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
 
I am in the middle of building one too!! Here is a little teaser pic.

yeah I upgraded all the drivetrain first for an obr motor I have.... but ended up doing more stuff. Yeah thats not an obr clearly... lol

servos... I have an AGFRC A280 brushless servo that does the steering. Savox SAVSB2236MG brushless for the brakes... and throttle. And when you are building yours.... you might find the stock steering servo is meant for upgrade, its rated at 6v. The stock throttle servo (rated for 7.4v) is actually better to keep rather than swap with stock steering servo.
