Nice truck! This a bit of a custom build also and when searching for a forum to show it off I found this thread.
This is my usa 1 , got it back in November did a couple runs on the stock 4s setup and it was fine, but I can't leave good enough alone and was sceptical of the stock esc as it looked like a max 10 sc, so I put the quick run 8 and a 4274 hobbywing motor for more piece of mind... ouhps!!! Talk about bonkers power on 6s, on an icy driveway a blip of 3/4 throttle would have it flip onto its roof then back to its wheels as the wheels slowed down, that was cool, last year the snow was deep, like foot and a half of powder, with throttle control I could get the truck to float on top, but to much and it started to dig down, but never stop digging, with just burps or the trigger the front end would lift and the wheels would throw the snow out of the way and it made it threw. Never saw that before!
Had a 6ft snow jump made for my x maxx and it had over a foot of powder leading to it and on it, after a couple passes to the jump with the usa 1 I made a run to jump it, another ouhps, trying to keep these spinning hunks of tire on course was hard, as it ran up the jump the truck went right and it jumped over towards the icy driveway, saw it happening so I did my best and did make the four wheels land, but the front wheels both went opposite ways instantly. There where only three parts broken but the site of it looked much worse.
Saw vitavon parts available and put savage x big bores with custom shock towers. Even after repeat emails to vitavon they only make the front diff housing. Oh well, just got it back together and can't wait to try it in snow. You may have noticed my esc and the custom bracket are held on by two sided tape!!! Its called alien tape and I can pick up the truck by the esc and shack it
