Default $25 brought new life to a dead truck!

Im stoked, I went electric about 7 months ago when I got into a local club racing 1/5 scale,17.5 sedans,spec slash,mod 2wd short course and crawling and have been having the time of my life.

I got this truck from my brother about a year ago and it was your typical monster truck basher ,chrome this, chrome that, nitro powered pain in my rear.Got into the electric scene here locally and the big fella sat until my latest inspiration.

Ive got a nephew who's 7, meaning zero throttle control and no hope of undestanding the nitro process.The solution: a quick mock up of a moderately fast, controllable cool looking truck that you just plug in, which he can handle.All built for the price of a piece of angled aluminum and spare slash motor,esc,rx.

Future plans: Castle Creations

It has some decent top end, just a little sluggish ont the bottom because its a tank. Im thinking smaller tires,and what I always want,more horsepower
