It's basically stock, it has locked diffs, 4ws, LRP waterproof esc, two Hitec servos that have been plasti dipped and a balloon around the receiver.

hey cajunbasher, just wondering, about how much money do you have in that truck total, kit, electronics and everything?

TXT..$360.00
ESC...$50.00 (It struggles with the dual steering servos) I would suggest an EVX, super rooster, or Super Duty
TQ3 TX/RX...I got it used
2 Hitec 645mg steering servos $40.00 each
2 Traxxas 13T pinions...$8.00
Plasti dip for servos...$8.00 at Lowe's
Reversing Y harness for dual servos $about $10.00 from Hobbyguyrc
I will be installing a 3 way switch for independent rear steering in the near future. That way I will only use rear steering when necessary....should help with run times.

That puts it around $500.00 maybe a little over.


The only extras are

Aluminum center skid
Integy shocks

IMO it's the best out of the box suspension on any truck! Her is an articulation shot...completely stock!
