I would be using stock motor with  MFU which has a inbuilt ECS and would be putting in a 7.2V 2200mAh LiFe battery but yes later I am planning to put a faster motor
I doubt this model requires a faster motor. The attention to detail in this model is spectacular! :)
My home work about faster motor is not complete but i have read at few forums that this possible but my focus at the moment is to get it going all upgrading will be phase ll of this built

complete assemble

yesterday I got on to the most difficult part so far in the assemble process of this truck THE MFU installation but was manage to get through with it after bearing a few dirty glares from wife and kids ( did not went out with them even after being at home  :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: ) but the result is quite encouraging
here are the few glimpses of it.

its not very neat but I am sure on improving the wiring once it is installed completely

finished painting job last night
had to change the plan as initially thought of making a color scheme but as painting progressed realized that its not giving the desired results so decided to stripe the originally painted colors and return back to single color paint this time result was good
the entire process took over 3 days to get completed.

after painting started light assemble work which is almost complete after this have to put up front  grill and exhaust which hopefully should be able to complete tonight
