Serum,
The truck is a 1st generation g-maxx. There is a picture of it in the photo gallery (yellow buggy body). The chassis and bulkheads are purple (Integy bulks). It has steel dogbones in the center, but plastic sliders to the wheels. It also uses modified bowtie tires (cut away some sidewall, cut out center treads and cut some of the diameter so they are slightly bigger than the komodos and very light). This particular truck has the racer x suspension on it at the moment.
You may be shocked to find that I am using a three year old (at least) 58ce controller on this truck (using the controllers bec also!). So, a 10 cell, 58 amp controller pushing 18.5 volts (21 volts when the batteries are peaked). I didn't run it long enough to thermal it or anything. When it hit the ceiling, the rear upper arm pulled out of the plastic as it bounced through the poles to the ground. The 2400xl is the size of a Feigao "s" motor, so it is about half the weight on the 7xl motor (less than 8 ounces). I haven't tried it with a 7xl, but I imagine the performance would be similar. It was very hard to drive on our tight indoor track.
