Look at All electronic's for the motors, I picked up 4 of em. Thinking they are 600's for like 6 bucks a piece. They are good for up to 14 volts or more.
At 7.4 they are a little slow, but throw some volts at em and look out!

Damn this thing takes me back! Back when I used to live for RCMT.net?? I had the Juggernaut with a snakebit body on it and two colds, one Grave digger and another Prowler!

I agree that a grave digger would be sweet on that thing.. paint the chassis lime green and do it!!!

I was just thinking about a build like this. Kind of a super style basher. Would the clod axles hold up to brushless power? I have a spare MM and 5700 setup. I could find another, but am afraid they would grenade the gears and axles. The Titan motors are 12 turns? Maybe 3s lipo and some 10 turn motors would up the speed.

I have an 1/8 scale Grave Digger body that I can mock up on a wheely king chassis just to give you an idea. I think I have a some clod tires to mock up also. It should give you an idea of what you will end up with in the looks department. I will post pictures later tonight once I take em.

The stock tires and 1/8 scale body give it a kinda scale trail truck look. The clod tires help with the monster truck look. The wheelbase looks to be good.

Very Impressive work!!

You oughta send a pic to "Dennis Anderson" himself when you get it all done.
He's actually pretty enthralled with RC at the moment, and holds RC events at his workgrounds as he has said its his new fav pastime.
Bet he would enjoy it just like the rest of us here do. Just an Idea.

My original goal was to end up with a crawler of some sort. Im still undecided on what the end will be for this. I have some stainless tube that I might make into a scale monster truck frame. Sounds like a good winter project to me!

Well I wasn't really a fan of the digger body on there and came across another body for a great price. Not a fan of ford but it looks ok and will get smashed up anyway

I use 2 speed gem 16t d motors. If you have adjustable mototr mounts you need to go up 3 teeth on the pinions to keep the RPMs down. My truck has a complete custom chassis and roll cage and weighs about 8 lbs and still flies around the yard. I am using the evx esc and running 2 4500MAH batteries. I went to the Pumpkin Smash race at Digger's Dungeon a few weeks ago and won the electric class. The Titan motors are good for torque but I coldn't seem to find the speed I was looking for. Hope this helps
