You're probably thinking of Hobao or Hong Nor. But yes, this does look like a Jammin' buggy (X1CR with the big bore shocks?).

So they're using a big motor with ~2100mah cells (could be 2p for ~4200mah), and a weird gear reduction unit. It's different than most, no doubt. But then again, so am I:

Those were two different buggies I converted with that same chassis configuration, and both used 8 Maxamps 2100mah 15C cells in 4s2p (14.8v 4200mah).

Notice there's not much room for an ESC, especially a MMM...
