It's one thing at a time. Just need to mount my battery buckets lol then ill be ready to test. Although it was suggested the I run the rx and servo off a BEC instead of the esc's to real strain on the esc's. if this is the case then I need to buy a castle 10amp BEC and install that.

Have this subbed. I'm attempting the same thing with twin RX8 setups in an Emaxx, running hotter motors though. I have more monster like wheels and tires, the plan is to not change to much of the "monster truck" aspect of it. Good luck on your monster quest!

Tonight I mounted the battery boxes. Still need to tweak them a touch as the drag link touches the boxes. Nothing major tho! The weight up front from all four batteries is insane. It should really help with keeping the front end down. I'm kinda nervous to run this truck as its almost completely hand made. Oh well all in fun 
This truck will retain the monster truck look, but ill be usingX0-1 wheels. The rest should but bash worthy.

I am running 6s on each motor and I need weight up front to help keep the front down. Look at all triple digit cars, they have to run lead weights to help. It's all trail and error right now. It took me just about a year to fine tune my nitro savage speed truck into what it is. This is what is the best part of building projects, the wife on the other hand does not like them lol

Not quite as low as yours but I'm really trying to keep it as "monster truck" as possible. Using upgraded Emaxx shocks but using only 1 per corner like yours. My batteries are actually going under the chassis where they normally would be to keep the cog as low as possible.
I'm at a little hang up though, I was going through the whole truck replacing all the rubber sealed bearings for metal ones and I can't get the diffs back together without binding. I think my diff case is warped. After I get new diffs though we'll be good to go! I can't wait to see yours. Too bad we didn't live close we could help eachother out!

I've heard EC5's are the best connectors. I may go that route.
