Thanks for the compliment.
The chassis, shock mounts, front skid, bulkhead,axles,hexes,servo, and most of the hardware are stock. I still have a stock gearbox, but I modified it a little bit to fit a heatsink on the motor.
I also modified the stock battery strap with some rit dye and carbon fiber.
The body mounts are for a slash and the rear one was modified a bit.
Everything else is either RPM plastic, plus I added ball bearings and a traxxas wheelie bar.
Because of the caster blocks, the truck definitely has a shorter turning radius, but to sharp of a turn sometimes causes it to roll over.
On higher traction surfaces I have to drive it like a "monster truck"
and slow down a bit before the turns. I did lower it a little bit but the proline mashers hook up a bit too much sometimes.
On the stock tires I don't have that problem as much.

This truck is next to invincible and I drive and jump it hard.
I made a little video of it doing some jumps at a skatepark and bashing at a few other locations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JniaYq_TzKw
