i picked up 4 aluminum show trucks from a dude in ALASKA last year....He was getting out of the hobby and threw this chassis in for free!...It has been in my tmaxx room until last week when i woke it from the dead!....it has one long shaft conected to front and rear diff....

Is that one of the things you bought from Booyah? It's nice. Too bad it's not made anymore.

no,i did not get it from BOOYA!....as far as i know this is the only chassis like this!....Virgil is making me a new mounting bracket for the steering servo!....it will be ready to run after the part is ready!....i plan on runing the LIGHTNING on 2-5s this weekend if the weather holds up!....i am also going to fabricate some new posts for the UE battery hold down kit to work with the larger 5s lipo batts(wish me luck)...it should look very trick!

Can you contact the person you bought it from and ask him where he picked up the frame and what it is? It is a very nice truck and I am sure that you will have a lot of fun with it as long as you get it all hooked up correctly and safely. Good luck with the setup and testing. Go easy on it up front. You seem to have a pretty good build on your hands there.

Here is where I saw that chassis for the first time:

what guage wire are you using? it looks like 16 guage in the picture next to the 8 guage on the li-pos, and that doesn't look like sillicone wire either. without sillicone wire, if the guage is too small and the current is too high, the insulation might melt... and that would not end well.

Is that 10ga? It looks similar to the polyquest XQ packs, which I heard used 8ga to help counter the higher cell resistance.

I thought it was big for 10guage, maybe they should use copper tab cells instead, maybe solder with a little silver mixed in? imo that's a better plan

and I think the zippy li-pos use china cells, polyquest is an enerland pack
