I had not looked at this in a while. You have built one heck of a machine there! I hate voting for the battle truck, but I think for the contest it wins on the originality factor. this is after all just another corr truck conversion. An amazing very ingenious corr tuck conversion though!

TBH I don't think the word conversion is very fitting. Conversion is the word we use for turning nitro into electric, turning a buggy into a truggy, etc. This truck was not anything to begin with (albeit the front end was from a MT2 and the rear axle was from a Wheely King). Besides, if it were just another Corr truck conversion, then why is it that that there are 10+ Corr truck conversions (buggies) on RC-M, but only two totally custom trucks with this IFS/4-link-solid rear axle setup? I wish building this truck were as simple and non-time consuming as a conversion, I could have gotten a lot more sleep But thanks for the comments.


SH Z-Car, Custom Crawler, 8s Savage, 12s XTM XLB 1/7 buggy, 4wd 4-link rear/IFS Pro4 truck, Custom Hyper 10 Short Course, Belt-Drive Mammoth ST 1/8 truggy, 4s 17.5 MM Pro HPI Blitz

ok you win, poor choice of words on my part that detract from the amazing work you have done. this is a very close #2 for me for best build of the year.
