Here is a quick write-up JC did on this exact truck: https://blog.jconcepts.net/2018/05/i...e-macho-truck/

The only meaningful change I've made was switching the low-profile Protek servo out for a Tekin T-360 and LMT servo saver for a little more durability. I also removed the 3d printed body mounts and used standard side posts. Beachline is a really large layout and that big double was pretty tough for a clod, but with a few tweaks I think I could get it looking a bit better out there! Most of the tracks we run on are smaller for more realistic elimination style races, but I enjoy running full packs on an offroad track much more than a 10 second run.

I agree we been running monstercross style heats at Train's and it looks like a ton of fun. Most guys are running the losi lmt. I don't think the drive lines and suspension are working out on carpet. I always wanted to get my clod out to run it but I didn't think it would be durable enough. You really got that thing setup it looks as good as a solid axle truck can look on a track.
