Good catch on the specs. I personally would probably run the MMMXL just to have no worries due to the weight of the truck. I can't find weight listed on the sites I checked but, as I said above, it probably weighs 15+lbs .

In looking at this further, as I stated above, motor choice is limited with factory layout. That would be the first thing i'd change....or Mike would anyway. :) I personally hate the 8 shock setup. A set of Losi muggy shocks would be perfect but, I also doubt they would fit.

Sorry, just stating the obvious here.

The standard gst 7.7 is about 17lbs I believe, I'd think this weighs about the same.
I put losi shocks on my nemesis brushless xl conversion, so far I really like them. They required custom mounts.

Thanks...@ 17lbs that 80A esc must be crying! Pics of your shock setup would be sweet if you can.

Me likey!! Have you finished the conversion? How are those braces holding up? Any other pics would be great if you have the time.

Found your thread on your build...looks really great!

Here's a few more. I've had very little time to take it out so I can't really say how their holding up. I can say that it's terrifying to drive lol.
Btw, I have raven dual rate springs on the shocks.

Of all the true monster trucks I have seen, What you did is exactly what I have been looking to do. I really like the 1/5 scales but, cant afford one. Your truck is a great compromise.
