It's a FG beetle pro body. It's stock underneath for now. I had to regear the tranny. Those big fireball tires are somthing else to turn with stock gearing. The esc was getting pretty warm just driving around on the gravel. It's the kershaw design. Instead of one piece for the frame, I chose to run two. It seems alot stronger that way. I ran Revo driveshafts from the tranny to the diffs. I wanted to use as much of the E maxx as possible, I cut the batter trays out of the chassis. Would love to get a brushless setup for it. When I think about it, I may just build another. All my 1/10 scales look really little now.

That thing could frikin kill someone!!!!!!! I dont even want to think of all the cells you could fit in there. If you dont want to do a brushless conversion consider a twin 970 conversion, it runs alot cheaper.

Yeah, I was thinking about the bulks also. I took it out a couple of days ago. It's not the fastest thing. But it sure is fun to drive. Think I need to make my own bulks. And it needs two more batteries. Have to order another e maxx chassis, so I can cut the battery holders out.[8D]

That is a really nice job on the chassis. That thing is enormous compared to the 18!
