Great truck for bashing!
This truck has been owned by numerous TC members including Percymon and Dazza1. I bought it off Percymon in restored but standard form save for the Thunder Tiger wheels and tyres. I then set about fitting twin Super Stock RZ motors with steel 18T pinions. It also sports a Ripmax no-limit ESC, high torque servo with matching servo saver and alloy mounts, 2S LiPo, 2.4GHz radio, alloy shock towers & 100mm shocks all around. It really does shift!

It has a nice stance. Cool.

glad to see it arrived safely ! I'm sure it'll be a blast with the RZ motors
Max Power
Nice, and with twin RZ motors I bet it hammers!

I hope so, I did consider the brushless route but I wanted to keep the weight (and cost) down so thought the RZs should work nicely. Will get a video up once it's all running nicely.

do you have a lot of batteries in it?? seems to be sitting low on the suspension!
SteveU30
Nope, only 1 NiMh. I think the ride height is down to the shocks that are installed, they are 55mm ones I think and the top spring mounts are wound down on them. Will be fitting the 100mm shock towers along with Traxxas T Maxx shocks soon anyway so that should sort the ride height out.

Those wheels are mahoooosive!

If you can find one, the Mtroniks super truck esc are great. Add a couple of ansmann 15 turn motors and its a flying machine for a spend of just £40
