Total Package

What you see is what you get.
Spare Parts

You get the motors in the truck plus these four identical spare motors. 12 volt - 550 motors. 6 motors total! They are used, but still working fine.
Spare Parts

Some new, some used. Mostly everything in this bag is brand new.
Spare Parts

The red bumper parts are brand new. A new spare gear set is included (not shown). 2 new spare gears for the Airtronics 94358 front steering servo. Red spare shock set is used. Axle tube is used but not broken, however, the axle in it is broken. 2 steering knuckles in upper right of photo is new, but the one in the lower left is broken. The stock speed selection switch is new.
Futaba 4 Channel Radio

This 4 channel stick radio allows you to have independent 4-wheel steering. The right stick (left/right) controls the front steering, and the left stick (left/right) controls the rear steering. If you want a new challenge driving a monster truck, this is for you. Once you get used to driving the independent 4WS, it makes this truck very maneuverable. No need to lock rear steering anymore! Comes with rechargeable transmitter battery.
Charging Adaptor

Since I use old style Deans 4 pin connectors (discontinued) on the transmitter battery and receiver battery, I'm providing you with an adaptor so you can charge these on your peak battery charger (your charger must be able to charge these types of batteries). I'm also providing a couple pairs of spare 4-pin connectors in case you may need to make other adaptors. Or you can just ignore all this and replace my connectors with your own.
Spare Parts



Electronics - 12 Volt System!
This truck runs on 12 volts instead of the standard 7.2 volts. Longer 550 motors are used. I've included 4 spare motors too with capacitor already soldered on. The speed controller is a robot speed controller (IFI Victor 883) that can handle the 12 volts and has no reverse delay, so it is very fun and responsive to do wheelies. As you can see in the video, you can do some crazy fun stunts with this one, however, you still have to be careful about going full speed forward to full reverse too quickly because the stock clod drivetrain won't withstand these torques if you go TOO crazy with it. The battery is a 10 cell Sanyo CP-2400 NiCAD pack (2400 mah) with a Deans Ultra plug on it.

I use many Deans connectors (Ultra plug and old 4-pin connectors), and some experience is necessary to make sure things get plugged together correctly after disassembling and for charging. Since the Deans 4-pin connectors are a discontinued product, I will include an Ultra plug to 4-pin adaptor for charging the 5 cell receiver battery, and 2 extra pairs of 4 pin connectors (used) to make other adaptors if necessary.

Radio
The radio is an old Futaba 4 channel stick radio. Note this is not a pistol radio. It uses 2 servos, and 2 channels for steering. If pistol grip is a must, you can install a different radio and use a Y-connector (not included) for servo hookup to a single channel. I put a Deans 4-pin connector on the transmitter battery so you can unplug it and fast charge your transmitter battery. Your charger has to be capable of charging this type of battery (8AA nicad pack), otherwise you can use a standard radio charger (not included).

Other Notes
The Parma Grave Digger body is really busted up because I bought it in 1990, but I still use it. Hahaha. You will laugh when you see it. You can get a new Parma Grave Digger body that should be a direct replacement for the custom body mounts I've made.

The Sassy Chassis was bought around 1990. Its got a lot of mileage, and a lot of drilled holes, but its definitely strong and functional since its all aluminum.
