Marzac2-

Looks Good! I was originally going with the KMC body but have decided to add a little color and go with the Bully Dog.

Can wait to see what it looks like when you add the electronics.

Thanks

You'll probably see it in action at ARC next weekend.

I hope these succeed. This is what the truggy class should have been from the beginning.

Before http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...t=DSC00184.jpg

After http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...t=DSC00333.jpg

Associated took what Traxxas started and made it SOOOO!!! much better, from looks to performance to durability, head and shoulders above the competition, and it is just plain fun.

Word to the wise, every screw that goes into metal will eventually come undone. Save yourself some time and tighten them after a couple tanks.

It also looks like the screws for the engine mount are a bit short. My buddy just bought one at our local track on Saturday and in the second tank the engine came loose. I'm surprised AE didn't threadlock metal to metal screws. Come on guys!

Also NOTICE TO ALL NEW SC8 OWNERS!!!!!

Check those precious body stickers. Mine were quickly installed and most of them were not pushed down all the way.

I am already checking the screws that go in to metal parts for loc-tite.

And besides that, there is nothing much to complain about.

This thing rocks!

Check out the new window screen I installed with a hot glue gun.

I do this with all of my buggy/truggy conversions and it holds up really nice along with adding a ton of fresh air to cool the components down.

I think it looks more scale like this as well.

From a freebee site. You want it? I like your name and it fits that better. Go ahead and use it if you want, cause I'll be switching mine soon anyway.

I still love watching old episodes of the show on MTV2 even though I've already seen most all of them when they first came out.

Cru and i went racing this past Tuesday, they put us in with the 1/10 gas and CRT guys. I think we finished 1 and 2.
I put 45 weight oil in the rear and ran 7 7 7 in the diffs to make it a little easier to drive.
Over all the truck is very durable and my engine ran great. The only thing i dont like is the run time. Hopefully it will get a little better as the engine wears in more.
