I agree that on something like a short course body, a fancy paint job is a waste but with buggies, the bodies usually hold up pretty well. At least mine do anyway.

The marble effect is done by first spraying the darker color you choose(I did purple) then you quickly blot it with wadded up plastic wrap , then let it dry then spray the lighter backing color . Very easy technique to do .....

The Tekno red springs are softer than the Kyosho oranges as far as I know. If so, that would make your car push more. Does it push in low speed corners?

Stoked about these CSI v-ports I dropped in. The recommended 27.5F 20R sounded light to me but on the bench it feels spot on. Gonna hit the track Friday night under the lights to try em out.

Gotta disagree with this one. Good paint makes you drive better..You wont make a mistake, your to afraid you'll trash it

Well.........I snapped a front shock tower tonight, along with a hinge pin. Those new stronger arms held up very well though.

Yes it does Curtis. Its great in sweepers. I was thinking about raising the rear of the buggy a bit. How did you get 4.0 rear toe in on your set up? Stock max is 3.5
