Tamiya Monster Racer
After machining out diff housings from 6061 and breaking gears all the time I converted the transmission and driveshafts to traxxas VXL and now run 11.1v li-po and brushless. I painted the body box art style and run newer compound tires because I actually drive this thing fast and it will run 70mph easier than my traxxas stampede. The 5400mah lipo is mounted under the front shock tower to keep the front end down on high speed runs.
I recently set it up to match my 88 Toyota pickup, the have identical 'see's' wheels and identical SR5 spares. All the wheels on the monster racer are aluminum as well
Now I'm running traxxas funny car tires and this thing launches and handles speed soo well my 2wd slash CANNOT keep up with it from 40mph on. Will be running it on GPS very soon

Whoa, where to start, first off a WHEELIE bar on a Hilux, NOW it is a Racer!!! I guess a HOW TO on the conversion is in order please. I might have to look into it if I continue to want to run my King Cab. That matching 1:1 truck isn't too shabby either. Where in the world did you find that scale SR5 wheel???? I have a few Sees rims here, wish I could find some more.

The SR5 wheel is made by rc4wd. I just got a set of the 5 hole sees wheels and will be running them soon
