Just took a second look at your pics . You know that FORD bumper will depreciate the value of your truck right? Just kidding The dodge in my told me to say that.

nice truck... may i be the first to say... shelf queen!...
the ford bumper finishes out the truck...
center drives are stock... from the diff out it looks like CVDs
and as far as 2K into alum... i would guess more then that... i have 1500 into mine and the only thing i have alum are the trans gears!...

You should get some SPI Racing Wheeles http://www.spiracingwheels.com/2005/ , they are alot better then those POS ALuminum rims, lol, he can do red anodizing and mill out a design of your choice and he eaven does coustum work like my wheeles. He is a great guy, any one who ever meats him is better off because of it.

Well, I applaude your work and effort. And am in awe of someone wanting/willing to spend that much on an rc truck.
BUT, It's not a T-Maxx. It's really no more than a glorified knock off, a T-Maxx look alike - so to speak.
Stock bumper mounts do not a T-Maxx make.
Still, I am impressed with your time, money and work that went into it.
