I've been on this forum as long as it has been around i think. i'm sure i have posted a few trucks throughout the years but here is my latest build.

the truck has:
supershafty bombproof wraith trans with 6mm outputs
full vanquish wraith axles front and rear with scale front knuckles and 5mm vanquish axle shafts
creeperbob 5mm rear axle shafts
MIP driveshafts
CPE barbarian chassis
RC4WD King shocks
HR front steering linkage
GCM metal diff cups with HPI open diff gears
Axial HD bevel gear set, 43t front 38t rear
stainless screw kit
switching over to the adjustable HR f/r sway set soon
savox high torque steal gear servo
castle sidewinder sct with 3800kv motor
RC4WD rumble tires(newest compound)
CPE beadlock wheels
Hesse machined planetaries
suburban body painted by CPE(show body, not a runner)
i run a standard proline f250 body in black to bash with, nothing special

Nice ride. What type of transmission are you running? Looks like it has a dig of some sort. Quick tip, Kimborough makes a black servo-saver, it may look more scale than the white nylon one you have. You could also paint and/or die it. The chrome section on the front body looks killer, almost 'terminator' like. Great job on the build. How does it handle? You bash with it any?

the transmission is a modified wraith trans from supershafty: heres the link http://supershafty.com/transmissions/246-complete-bomb-proof-wraith-trans.html

as for the servo saver, i have the black one as well, when i built the truck, the white servo saver was all my LHS had in stock. just haven't gotten around to switching it to the black one.

well it should look terminator like since that is the theme of the body(look at the graphic on the roof haha. CPE painted that body for the terminator chassis they have for the clods.

the truck bashes great. i put it through its paces on the beach all summer and it handles awesome, my only complaint is the sways that the barbarian chassis come with, they are super stiff to a point where the truck understeers more than id like it to, the HR sways ill be putting in have a soft medium hard setting so hopefully that will work out. but the truck flies very well and is quite controllable in the air

Very nice looking truck! Did you custom make the body mounts? I'm not really wanting to put holes in a nice custom body when I get one done.

CPE sells this kit http://crawfordperformanceengineering.com/product_info.php?cPath=4_36&products_id=615
its currently out of stock but id imagine when they get back from the monster jam tour that it will be up again. i have velcro on it now but its not up to par for bashing so i'm going to ditch the standard velcro and try out some heavy duty dual lock velcro
