stum - this is not the 8 T, it's the Muggy. It's a hybrid monster truck - LST suspension, built on a truggy chassis, with a truggy drivetrain. IMO, it's the perfect basher / all around RC vehicle. Not the best at anything, but awesome at everything. Or at least I've heard, and hope, since I haven't actually used it yet ;) I'll post some more details soon.

tom - I put it there for weight balance, like Monster Mike said. If you add the weight of every single component on the motor side of the truck, it's STILL a little lighter than just a 6S 4800 battery! BUT, this was a nitro truck, so the battery sits a little closer to center. Sooo, in the end, I ended up with a truck with excellent weight distribution. As for dirt, it has mudguards, and a body will certainly help out a lot. IF it becomes an issue later, I'll fix it.
