For this truck, I wanted to build a machine that would handle a small to medium indoor race track well, along with being tough enough for mindless bashing. The truck must be strong, light, nimble, responsive, powerful, and have outstanding handling characteristics.
Success!
This 8.2 pound (without batteries) truck turned out better than I had hoped. The power, agility, and handling is as stunning as it looks. Fully-loaded with 14 cells of batteries, and the heaviest tires (stock), it is under 11 pounds.
