A picture is worth . . . somewhere between 750 and 1034 words. So, I wont say much.

I recently decided to make one of my OG xmods into a truck after I saw the awesome EVO-t's that you guys have. I didn't have the money to go out and buy a completely new car, and I didn't want more junk, so I got to work on my old xmod. Seriously, this thing looks awesome in person. I wasn't able to get the shots I would've really wanted, but I guess they're fine for now.

I'm thrilled with this result. Even though it is not finished, I can't wait to shred with it outside.

Don't worry, I'll get better pictures when I can.

And a shot of the tierod.

Thats pretty freaking unique. Nice idea by flipping the front.
If you space the rear as low as the front, you should be able
to retain AWD with no issues.

Did you cut the front chassis off totally(to flip it)? kinda hard to tell..
but if you did, that will yeild some massive articulation.

That's some cool stuff. I really like the idea of flipping the front end too.

I might try something like that here in the future, meanwhile I think I'm gonna try sticking some offroad tires, and a truck body on a gen1 chassis. See how that works carpet running.

Mount it on the rear towers, facing forward. The towers can be shaved down or shimmed up to allow proper gear mesh.

Then swap the polarity of the motor wires, so it spins the wheels in the correct direction.
