Status: offline 		She weighs about 16 .1 lbs I think and is 24" long,17.5" wide and a wheelbase of 16.5",the tires are 3.8"x7".With the calculations i've done,7 tires and 18t CB the truck should see 65+mph with the Nosrams,they rev to 33,500rpm which is quite high and have 3.93hp each,the tires ballooning will be a problem and thats why I want as close to 7" low profiles as I can get.I could get her loads faster with 20t CB's but she's a monster truck when alls said and done that just happens to handle well,in order to get her upto 70mph,i'll need 20t clutch bells and a 46t spur with 6" tires,thats with a 43t bevel and 13 pinion and the engines revving at 32,000rpm.She's got dual Tower Pro MG995 metal geared high torque servos for sterring and a Hitec H625 MG for throttle/Brake,the only other things I want are 2 Tsais Maxima tuned pipes,I think you'll know the ones,they're one of the only manufacturers to do a right hand pipe thats aftermarket and they look awwesome as all you can see with the body on is 2 side pipes with slashcuts,all the tuned chamber is covered.Them are the plans but they'll probably change,i've already spent a fair bit getting her back up to scratch as she was a non runner when I got her....
