I figured I should make my own thread with all the questions I get and the pics and vids I have. I bought this truggy already converted but it needed some TLC and some tweaking. It had a 2200 MMM system that overheated and died shortly after running the truck a few times. I noticed a few items were pretty worn but luckily the previous owner was a good guy and gave me a good deal and a lot of extra parts.
I have since added a few upgrades and swapped out other parts to where I'm at now:
Mike's D8T conversion
Mike's D8 top plate
Losi battery tray
Tekno outdrives
Tekin RX8/T8 1700kv combo
15/44 gearing when using plastic spurs
15/48 gearing for beach runs
Badlands on VTR Velos with Bulldog body
MX-3 2.4Ghz with 7955
Neu Energy SP 5s 46C 5000mah packs
Hyperion 1420i for charging (awesome charger)
