Credit to RC Fab Works for the amazing craftsmanship. The powder coating was done through Carter Fab and Machine.

Thank you to my sponsor Vanquish Products for the incredible parts. Since the original axles I built to use in this Beast went in to the CI Dakar truck, the new set will use Vanquish Products new version two axle case that has thicker tube walls and redesigned captured bearing retainers. I will be using the racing Ackerman vp steering arms and Ti drag link. Axial under drive gears front and rear with Grip Fab Lockers.

Blue BEC runs the car at 7.4V and the clear BEC runs the two MORE light bars at 9V. I like to run 4S lipo and because I do it requires the double BEC's.

I am a fan Traxxas big bore shocks. I run them on nearly everything and have years of experience with them. The shock body is big enough to hold enough shock oil to actually perform & control the vehicle.

From left to right, here are the three most common big bores;
Left is 2660 and is 3 3/8" e2e
Middle is 2661 and is 3 3/4" e2e
Right is 2662 and is 4" e2e

You looked into modifying the RPM dual stage pistons to fit in them? I love that setup on my big bore'd shocked Jeepspeed. Adds another level of suspension tuning.
