It's a Mr. C conversion and that's the version 1. He has a version 2 that looks good too. I have the set up for efficiency and not speed. It sure has a lot of torque and it's very easy to drive. The chassis has withstood head on collision with the curb 2 times when I lost signal. Carbon fiber done right can be very strong in every direction and Mr. C did his job. The hole chassis is carbon fiber, but the front kick up is aluminum and that was bent in the collision and it was easy to bend it back.
