A couple of progress shots. M-05 front section, custom rear section. Brushless motor & esc, custom wheels & rear suspension. 3Racing 0 degree hubs (2 lefts), custom front & rear shocks. HPI mini body. I had to move the rear wheels forward about 5mm to clear the back of the body.

Very Nice.

Interesting and cool looking so far

looking rig! can't wait to see more of it...

Cool!

Finished chassis shots. Motor is Exceed Rocket 2215 740kv. Front wheels are 3/4" wide with as much backspacing as I could get, and narrowed Sand Scorcher tires. The servo is recessed into the battery bay. I tiny battery slides in front of the servo.

Interesting look with the front wheel drive line. Sure looks compact up front. I really like the look of it though.

abc has a really nice mini cooper pickup body.
i ran one on my 4wd genetic. it would look sharp on that bad boy.

740KV? That seems really low for a drivetrain with standard reduction.

I believe ABC discontinued the mini pickup some time ago, Ive been looking everywhere. The 750kv (I had one laying around) is on the slow side. Odd, as I run twin 750's in a mini (4w/d, 4w/s) and it moves right along. Hobbypartz has been out of the exceed 2215's for a long time.

oh noes! i need a new one too. bummer, such a cool body.

Well, it looses it's "ratrod" statis due to my color choice (candyapple red/pearl white mix).

ya it does, but it looks so much better painted. looked really odd clear.

That's pretty cool, not something you see every day! I'd love to see how it drives.

I hope I don't offend, but that is cute!
