This thread will start to get some pictures in it here in the next few days.
The TXT is the same truck I bought back in 2004
when I started crawling and RCC was advertised on flyers in the local HobbyTown 
.
This will be the trucks first full ground up rebuild in 4 years, and its first new chassis in 4 years.
The stock chassis is out, and being replaced by a custom, prototype Super Class X-22 tuber from Sinastir Crawlers. Mine is unique in that it is the FIRST X-22 super
, it will have a stinger, and custom mounting points for the TXT trans. It also differs from any other X-22 super that will be ordered in the overal length, width, and height of the chassis. This was done to make it very similar to the set-up I have now, and to accomidate the drivetrain I run. A TXT trans, GD600, and 7T puller is a 6" long drivetrain front to back , not easy to fit.
The trans will be swapped out for a new unit, and I may even leave the case intact to try and preserve the strength as it will need it. Axles will remain, but will be gone through, and bearings installed, finally
. Driveshafts will be replaced, as the front Revo shaft has been broken for the last 4 years. Never gave me grief after it split, so why bother with it.
Same proline beadlocks, and XLs for now, but I may put new rubber on possibly. It will still run Hitec 5955s for steering, and twin 5 cell, 6V packs to power them. I do have a Castle BEC coming incase I don't have room for the Rx Packs in the chassis.
Now for the numbers:
Wheelbase: 16.5-17"
Shocks: Integy MGTs running a 70/30 droop set-up
Links: 5/8 lower, 3/8 upper solid AL, may goto Delrin
Motor: Cobalt 7T Puller with a 10T Puller coming just in case
ESC: Mamba Max
Servos: Hitec 5955s on seperate 5 cell 6V Rx packs
Batt: 6 subCs for now, going up to 8 or 10 subCs in the 4200 flavor.
Total Power on Board: Currently is 17.2V, will be up to 22V possibly.
Pics to follow...

. THere is ZERO torque twist going forward and just a slight bit in reverse. Very well balanced and smooth both in power and in handling.
