This truck is a total BEAST.

Them RPM parts are so cheap you always find yourself buying more.

It should weight less actually. Most lipos are significantly lighter than a stick pack.

I made the flaps from some old motorcyle tire inner tube. Some alluminum pipe from the LHS and some hardware and O rings. I bent and molded the pipe to have a curve and twist to it since the front suspesion goes up and back not up and down like the rears.Then drilled 2 holes in the chassis to mount them up. I used the O rings go on the screws up against the chassis and tighten the locknuts snug.This way they don't snap a piece of the chassis off.And then after getting the rods in place I used 3 zip ties to hold the innertube to the rods.Done. just like that.lol Here are a few pics.

I know the feeling oh so well. When I was building my 1:1 Superbike she was always saying stuff like that. Then after it was done and I was always around she says " Get A Hobby". So I did and she recomended it so I don't wanna hear it. LOL!!! Thanks for the compliments fellas.
