Looking at the pic it has twin electric engines, double rear shocks, single front, aluminium arms, towers, bumpers and everything else.
The flat areas on either side of the first photo with the ribs would be where the batteries live.
Quite long arms so I'm guessing a monster truck and it would be very tough to break.
looks a little large for 1/10th scale so I'll guess 1/8th

correction, the twin shocks look like they are on the front.
I was testing jsut two in the back at the time. Went back to 4 all around. Its a 1/0th monster truck. I run it on 14 Sub C cells. Good for at least 300 watts of output from the motors. Peak discharge on the packs while running though is more in the 500-700watt range, but with the ineefeciency I don't think its quite putting t hat much power to the ground(768 watts is one HP).

Look at the picture with the red car to see my truck with body and wheels. Diferent chassis in the picture though. If you want a few more pictures of these beasts, check out the gallery at www.unlimitedengineering.com
