Who makes that battery tray?

TRX4 G2 Motor pre-gear box front motor kit Set T4 front-mounted V8

Its a front motor mount with a battery tray, you will also need a front servo mount, and skinny servo horn.
 
whats up everyone?
today I added some details.
metal door handles very detailed.
windshield wipers.
gas tank on the rear window.
painted the fake screws on the cage silver.















 
Great looking truck!

Does the GRC front motor/battery tray conversion improve or hurt performance?

the gear is a bit slower and a lil louder but it gives you so much room and lowers center of gravity.i also got the v8 engine cover but youd have to cut out the hood and figure out the hinges and im not goin that route.
 
What foam are you running in those tiresa? They look too soft judging from how they squish.

i was running the ones that came with the pitbul but i switched the tires to my old V1 Twoface since everyone else was running the same tiers.
 
Today I added another cosmetic part, Spectre Rope...
