Nitro MT as it should be... Big and clunky.
Giga DF's current stance. This thing is just too badass, I had to share it with someone. Truck is a monster. The larger wheels/tires really set it off and the tires tread even matches the theme on the body. Now I know what you are thinking and no, I haven't run it yet. I have all of the radio gear now though. I pulled out some stops to get some good radio gear in here. Truck weighs a ton and then some. The heaviest one I have for sure. I should have it running soon.
Also, I know the back tire is backwards. Since I am going to tear the whole truck down and rebuild before I run I didn't worry about it. I have to put something next to this truck so you can understand how big it is. I put my kids sit and push bigfoot truck next to it, and this thing is the same size.

As far as the radio, I have settled on a Z650M for steering, Z590M throttle and synthesized RS310 with the XS3i Pro Tx. Failsafe, 6v NiMH.

$209.86 + 2 tiger drives @ $25 for the conversion... $259.86 to get the 2 Sportwerks engines in. That is a little pricey. I will have to think about it.

Oh, sorry $259.86 is the cost of the conversion parts, engine mounts, flywheels, clutch shoes, etc. Add another $100/ea for the engines.
Total conversion with engines is $459.86. Granted I already have the engines, but dang! That is a lot!

well consider it new, 639 kit, plus all the radio gear....at the time tower still had it and i prices it for me to do the dual it came out to 1,039.86 and that was with basic parts, no high torque, no dig radio, so u can see ur still saving a lot for that truck.
I wish i would of saw it sooner, those parts are the same for the mad force to mount a stander .21 or larger, cause same with the force and giga its direct mount.
look around for deals Ultimate hobbies has a lot of kyosho parts in stock and for i think 50 dollars it was gonna cost me to drop one engine in my truck, so its 2x for ur case.
update for you, my dad has a good friend at work who has both a cnc and a flow jet for small parts, I'm making the mad force Dual engine, i bet its the first anyone will ever see at that. but the name twin force is taking cause of the electric version so i have some thinking to do lol.
Keep us updated on the beast, and get a video when its all done, there is all of 1-3 online that i can find of the crusher that's not the rtr version.
