Any guesses on what that will weigh? I wouldn't be concerned with the motor / batts /esc being a problem. I think your plan sounds pretty solid. The thing I would be more worried about is the drivetrain. Strong diffs, etc... There aren't going to be any aftermarket parts for that truck if the stock stuff isn't strong enough for that kind of power and weight.

The power that motor and battery set will create will no doubt generate unreal torque, but the weight of a large truck combined with the weight of all of those batteries and all the torque that power system will generate will put alot of strain on the diffs and other drivetrain components.

Just something to think about while planning this out.

Looks like its gonna be a really cool project. :dft003: Definitely different. I like different. :)


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
