That's the RCRockGear Maxx shop truck. It started life as a box stock E-Maxx.

That is the RCrockgear truck and it would probably cost anywhere from $100-$250 to make.. since you have all the electronics already, maybe closer to the lower side. But PM brett( Toyo) about it and ask him about the truck, he will be more than helpful when he can get the time to answer ya he is a very busy boy. This is just a side job for him, so please have patience

right off the back that run from the center out to the wheels?

those are steering links.then the green rods with black ends are the lockout links to lock out the a-arms into a "locked" postion

it means to lock the stock a arms int one position so you can make a 4 link set up. This effectivle makes it solid axle.
