Damn this thing is killer. Just wondering.... What is the frame made from, and how much does it way? Looks killer so far. o and are those things on the side the body mounts. Cause that would be killer. nice build |

The frame is made out of steel, the body is just for mock up but I'm getting a new F-650 body for it, I think I'm going to cut out the box and make a box for it with an opening tool box and I'm going to make a interior rollcage. I'm going to see how my funds are and I might try and put a light kit in and a winch. The tabs are used to mount a interior tub that'll keep mud away from the motors on the E-maxx tranny, also the frame is surprisingly light.
