The good thing about trend setters is that they lead the way for others, which in turn creates a market for the parts involved in a conversion poject like this one. So hupefully within a reasonable amount of time this can bring the price of this conversion down. Then more of us can afford to bring our trucks to the same level without breaking the bank for a hobby truck. Creating a group of vehicles that can race at that same level with less weight, less broken drivetrain parts, and increased efficiency, not to mention a much cleaner experience all around and less frustration unlike Nitro. Way to go Sike for going all the way with this project

.
It kind of reminds me of the aspects of the NASCAR organization which sets things up so that having vehicles that are vitually identical creates the situation which means that winning any race is soley in the hands of the driver and his crew (the human factor). This has the looks of a very sucessful build Sike. Thank you for sharing it with all of us and keep up the good work.

I for one look forward to the completion of this one so we can all learn from your work.
