I bought this O8S from LHS. Super fun to drive, but had to have more cow bell.

Started with upgrading power to XLX2/2028 1100kv Castle. Then Badlands on all 4 corners. Swapped out the chassis for EXB and for sure fire poundage a steel brace plate under the chassis. With 10000 MaH HV batteries this machine weighs a svelt 36lbs.

Crazy to drive. Power and speed thumper!

No fun to transport if not under its own power though.

I’ve destroyed a Badland already. I get these things to balloon under load. So not sure how I can trim the weight from tires.

Any suggestions?

Man is this thing fun though.

Beast, my Mojave body shell weighs nearly 2lbs with ample goo fixes so don't forget to tack that on!

Crazy to think about how 6S XLWB is only 10mm shorter in wheelbase but more than half the weight dressed.
 
Well them 10000 packs aren't helping the weight. And the tires definitely aren't either, just gotta remember that this is a big truck and it'll weigh a lot with a lot of bolted on farkles.
 
I wonder how you blew an mx43! I run them on 12s and still don't blow em. You must have been going HAM, wish I could have saw it! Great build. :cool: (y)
