Truck is an all custom built by me, 1/5 scale monster truck (about 34" long and 50lbs).
Chassis is all 5/16 steel tube I hand bent and welded (about 45ft worth of it)
Axles are custom Hesse 1/5 scale axles with Daves motor sports dbxl cvd's and internals
Tires are MTXL Losi 9" tall x 7" wide
X-maxx shocks I polished
x-maxx body I airbrushed myself
Drivers seat I fabricated out of sheet metal and brake line tubing
ESC&motor are brushless Castle 800kv sensored with XLX2 esc
Dual SMC graphine lipos for 8s power

Took a total of 10 months and around 450 hours of labor from start to finish.

Custom Works Dominator

- Novak T-1X, NER-2X, NES-1A and receiver pack
- East Coast Racing Motors mod motor
- Houge pink diff sprockets
- Tecnacraft titanium turnbckles
- Protoform Vortex Low Drag Wedge body

This actually the first Team Associated vehicle that I ever bought. No restoration here, just a clean and well maintained Team Truck.

It's pretty much a unmodified white arm truck. The only exceptions to stock are the Andy's bumper, RPM gear cover, and Losi rear tires.

The body is a JConcepts reproduction with MCI decals. It also has extended body mounts. The paint is Spaz Stix gold to red, color change. It looks cool as it moves through different light, and you can see it a little in the pic.

Electronics consist of a Novak Polaris receiver and Rooster esc, Futaba S9304 servo, and Reedy ES Esprit modified.

Poll is up. Good luck!

Keepin it mum, but wow what a month , my votes in already !

yup...mine too right when he fired the poll, The Diamond Ones in too....not sure on Thumbs yet but i got a pretty good idea where he'll vote (hint: look at his avatar)

Pulled me a good old fashion switcheroo and voted early for a change, within a couple hours of polls being open. Instead of the usual last few days or hours (and no, not to peek). But anyhow, speaking of old fashion, it is nearing 5 o'clock

Its neck and neck. Looks like another 2 horse race. F

Speaking of horses, I think mine died in the gate!

32 votes within the first 16 hours. Keep it up folks.

Edit- make that 33
