Sounds good and I like the Traxxas connectors because I typically have more of those laying around than deans

Yeah I have no idea how I'm painting it yet......I want to try airbrushing so I need some supplies for that. No need for dremel....I used curved scissors and made nice curves with my cuts

[QUOTE=skyrider;11256422]Nice! I did a similar thing awhile back but ended up switching back because I preferred the zippyness with the stock tires. I first used the beadlocks, then went with dish rims as they were lighter.


Nice what body is that?
