There are a few stock parts on this beast. The motor mount, output gear, idler shaft, bumpers and mounts and the body posts are all stock parts! The input shaft is a stock part, though it has been modified to take the kind of torque the Steve is putting through it!
Papa - that is an "L" sized heatsink.
I must say, this is among my favorite trucks - it has beef where it is needed, yet is still under 8 pounds without batteries and nearly bulletproof. It took some custom shafts to mount the tranny like it is(single speed mounted to the rear for better CG and to get the motor/controller closer together), but it is the perfect location in my opinion.
By the way, Steve...on 6S Lipo, you are probably a little over 50MPH at top speed! Pretty hairy in a Monster truck!
