That is one tough looking truck and teh apidemy of simple design. very uncomplicated setup, and with that you should have more time running it instead of working on it. Great build.

I think I saw this truck in a magazine.

Thanks. My thoughts exactly. Received my Spektrum system today as well as my Traxxas high current connectors. I will be building a dual harness to connect both lipos in parallel. Still waiting on a few items.

Here are some updated pics. I received the 40 series tires, 2nd VXL system, 32P pinions as well as the Spektrum DX3 system. I threw the new parts on and did a quick run. I am very happy with the system. It has a ton of torque and great speed. Wasn't able to open it up all the way as it was dark out and the tires are not yet glued. I blew both rear tires clen out of the rims. I have to finish setting up the spektrum and fine tune the suspension. I am still waiting for the steel gears and 2 - 5000mah lipos to arrive. I also ordered the JConcepts Illuzion MGT Heavy Duty Body. Will keep updating. Thanks

The rig without dual lipos came in at 9lbs - 3ozs. With dual lipost and minor missing parts it will come in right at 11 pounds.

That rig looks pretty cool. It will be interesting to hear how it handles and what kind of speeds you get with the duel VXL3 and teh lipos. Great looking truck and something a little bit different for a change.

Small update while I wait for new lipos, Kyosho aluminum shocks and steel gears. I added aluminum body posts, heat sinks for the motors and vxl fans to both escs. Need to paint the JConcepts Illuzions MGT lid. Also replacing remaining phillips head screws with hexes. Having some "Twin VXL" decals made.
