I am currently building a brushless 3cell lipo Tamiya king blackfoot. I've had the truck for years but it was always a bit underpowered - just tested it with the Mamba Max and its a beast now!
I was going to put glue in the diff to lock it up - but when I looked at it I thought, nah! and filled it with screws instead! haha locked it up nicely.
I used some beadlock wheels on the back - which should keep the tyres on at 60mph or whatever it will get up to.
I'd like to put the bead lock wheels on the front as well (to keep the look) but they use a hex instead of bearings, so I need to try find a way to fit them (maybe adapt an axle on there)
The steering is a bit sloppy, I put a 14kg torque ACE servo in there, but the saver is rubbish and moves around a lot. There is also an incredible ammount of bump steer. Never mind.
It should be pretty mad when it's finished - I'll make sure to get some photos
