Thanks for the compliments guys.

Sylvester - I'm worried about snapping the ears off too :) Time will tell

JOHNNYMAXXIMA - The truck weights about 7.5 lbs without electronics (but including motor).

Dafni - The Body I used is a proline extended F350 Maxx body. It's fit's pretty good. The wheelbase is just about right.

Jasper - I'm waiting for Dafni to tell us whether a slipper is needed before I think of building a center diff tranny that lowers the motor.
