Seriously nice truck!

Thanks for the kind words Craig. I appreciate it.
First of all, Steves wheels make the truck for sure. Along with Regs box and Rods visor of course!
Second, very happy with the motor. I hesitated at first but remembered reading somewhere , quality motors aren't cheap!
and the fact that it was a recommended match for the PMD 4:1 , I chose to buy and just use the stock pinion. Tons of power, a loaded truck weighs between 23-25lbs and I run around in 2 or 3rd. Running a 2200 ma lipo and a cheap China esc's ( that's going to change soon
) I get well over an hour run time.
Thirdly,
only thing I wish I did different would be a manual locking diff. I have the rear axle fully locked and when loaded needs a country mile to turn.
Definitely not a speed demon but it's perfect speed for the backyard. Here's a old vid showing speed ranges

It's the youngest truck of the fleet but has the most miles on it for sure. I guess that makes it my favorite too.

Can't wait to see that CAT hoe of yours loading the black cat truck.....wait a minute, maybe I should run the hoe and you can drive the truck.... Hmmm, that don't work either
I'm between a rock and a hard place aren't I
