She is finally here and dang, all i can say is that its a monster!!!! 4wd, hydraulic 4ws, 100cc yamaha kart engine and functional zoomie headers. This thing is freaking HUGE!!!! I even took a couple shots next to a New Era Monster truck for size comparison. :D :D :D I am LOVING this thing.

Degree made this as a prototype in san diego. It moved its way to LA and then to Florida. Attached is a old picture of it at the El cajon raceway in san diego before it was completed. Also in the pic is the pulling sled i have, but the pulling truck is still missing in action.

Are the rims a custom size?
I saw these and the prices seems very low when comparing to our hobby.

not sure, but just ran a tape measure over it.

9" tall rim x 9" wide

18" tall tire.
