Shin those are some awesome pictures! It's not just the initial cost that's come down overall cost of ownership with brushless is great. No maintenance, no burn in period no shenanigans. Nic that's similar to when the beach is windswept and the sand is flat and a little compacted, you can just hold these massive 4wd powerslides.

Matt if it's brushed, brushless is a huge upgrade. I'm nowhere near talented enough to fabricate something like that all custom. It's an Axial exo buggy, they were a crawler rc company and this was there first go fast rc. It was just about to come out when I started looking for an rc last year so I jumped on it. Came as a kit which pretty much is a rolling chassis with no electrics so I had to pick and choose motor/esc tx/rx steering servo.

The only mods I've done are the better shocks Proline Powerstrokes (for the Slash actually), a metal spur gear and a one piece billet aluminum motor mount. The original designed motor mount was two pieces and cast from some garbage pot metal and broke or would back out so the pinion wouldn't be in contact with the spur anymore. Also put four equal width wheels on it instead of the initial stagged set which were narrower up front with the same BFG tires that the slash uses.
