Its a front motor mount with a battery tray, you will also need a front servo mount, and skinny servo horn.

Great looking truck!

Does the GRC front motor/battery tray conversion improve or hurt performance?

the gear is a bit slower and a lil louder but it gives you so much room and lowers center of gravity.i also got the v8 engine cover but youd have to cut out the hood and figure out the hinges and im not goin that route.

i was running the ones that came with the pitbul but i switched the tires to my old V1 Twoface since everyone else was running the same tiers.
