awesome!!! i'm a porschephile at heart, so you can imagine my jaw dropping when there were rc monster trucks and porsches in the same place...lol...

looks like a nice turbo cab in the foreground, and is the red slant nose a real one, or a converted one???

i got to test drive a new 997 turbo when they first came out, and it was amazing...i also had the opportunity to autocross a 996 turbo automatic- i was kinda disappointed in the performance of it...i still miss my cayman s...i went in originally looking at a 997 carrera s, but was sold on the cayman after a test drive...it was quicker up a mountain road than the 997 i used...handling was much better also...

anyway- what an awesome vid...:tmb

That is a wicked cool looking build!

And where else can a guy watch somebody "beating up" high priced German sports cars with a Clod? I loved it.

GP plates $40

had the exv-2
had the titans
links were $40
had the radio
upper links were $30
had the shocks
wheels and tires were $50

so $200 for my own unique clod ...... there are a lot of stock clods out there for more than that so IMO thats a budget build :tmb

Your truck looks great. How much wider do you think the chassis would need to be so the motors would clear the chassis plate. I have thought about doing the same thing, but with the 21T Titans, but I dont want to cut the chassis up. Looks like half an inch would be enough, I could just order custom length chassis braces from Brett to make it wider.
