CJ's Traxxas Hoss 4x4 VXL Project

Hi everyone, Here's another project of mine and possibly the 2nd oldest vehicle i have it's a Traxxas Hoss 4x4 VXL i bought it new from Hobbytown in Norman OK when me and my dad were getting house supplies and decided to stop by a couple of local Hobby shops Hobbytown Norman and Race Place RC (Which went out of business a couple of years ago). I built this truck out of parts i had lying around from other projects like the Castle combo and all the Traxxas ultimate parts like GTR shocks, sway bar set and the aluminum suspension uprights.

Here it is.


Here's an underbody photo.


Here's the build specs.

Castle Copperhead 10 2 - 4s Sensored Brushless ESC with IC5 connector soldered on (This truck used to have the stock Traxxas VXL-3s ESC but i pulled it out and sold it on eBay along with the stock motor)

Castle 1415 2,400kv Sensored Brushless Motor (Used to have the stock Velineon 540XL motor but pulled it and sold it along with the stock ESC)

Traxxas 14 Tooth Mod.08\32P 5mm bore pinion gear meshed to stock Traxxas 54 tooth Mod.08\32P Spur gear
