Sledgehammer has 4 shocks in the rear and its chassis narrows toward the front. Also the truck in his picture has the steering servo mounted in front of the shock tower and has different front a-arms as well.

There was a time frame when Traxxas was doing these in white. I had both a black plastic, and a white plastic Sledgehammer (which this definitly is not). I'm not sold that its a Traxxas product - but it may be.

I believe its a hawk 2, the transmission looks like the SRT/rustler. That is definately the hawk chassis though, a friend had a white one

Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

That reminds of when I was about 17 and out fixin' fence. Mid afternoon and I was down on my knees trying to tie off the bottom strand of barbed wire. I heard this click click click sound coming towards me. I thought it was one of those big brown hoppers with a bad wing. A second later as I reached up to release the stretcher I looked up and right there about 10 inches from my face was a big ole badger. I swear his eyes got as big as mine did, and we both did our best cartoon speed run in the opposite directions.....
