THANX DUDE! That comment actually made my day!

I got it off ebay a long time ago. I've used metal braided sleave, and this plastic stuff. They both look cool, but they both are a royal PITA. They're just difficult to work with, and I still haven't figured out how to get a clean termination, but I'm not that smart. The metal stuff was expensive though, so I wouldn't bother, but this plastic stuff was cheap! Just do a search on ebay for braided sleeve and see what comes up.

I hope it goes soon too, but I'm planning for the worst here. As of today, Castle is out of stock on the parts to repair the MMM, and they have no ETA. For now, I'll enjoy the videos on youtube of OTHER PEOPLE'S crazy fast brushless setups!!!!!!!!!!!!

glad i made you happy. :)

not good news on the castle front, but ill look for that stuff :)

(when i was modding my PSU i noticed it was very messy when you cut it... would a lighter singing the ends help this? hoe did you stop it from fraying,
thanks,
ryan - some of the youtube vids are awesome, dunno what id do without that site!! haha

you use normal heat shrink of the same color on each end to clean it up an keep it from fraying

stum - this is not the 8 T, it's the Muggy. It's a hybrid monster truck - LST suspension, built on a truggy chassis, with a truggy drivetrain. IMO, it's the perfect basher / all around RC vehicle. Not the best at anything, but awesome at everything. Or at least I've heard, and hope, since I haven't actually used it yet ;) I'll post some more details soon.

tom - I put it there for weight balance, like Monster Mike said. If you add the weight of every single component on the motor side of the truck, it's STILL a little lighter than just a 6S 4800 battery! BUT, this was a nitro truck, so the battery sits a little closer to center. Sooo, in the end, I ended up with a truck with excellent weight distribution. As for dirt, it has mudguards, and a body will certainly help out a lot. IF it becomes an issue later, I'll fix it.

Looks good. I bought the XTM Mammoth 6.125" wheel/tire for my BPP truck as the normal truggy wheel/tire combo kind of looks too small for the big 1/8 scale truggies. The only problem is the added weight on the drive train.
