paint job by CR GRAPHICS...this the body I won from Jojo @ Blue Diamond Park...and Jojo said ...and I qoute..."this body's coming home with me" not
...the wheels and tires are premounted Sweep 45's 
with the addition of the longer cb and the center diff moved forward, the electronics box and servo has to be chopped for clearance.
steering servo chop.
The shaft on the left was cut down from the original, the other was sleeved and then welded for more strength...so far the latter is the winner!
my first, we named him "piece of $h!+"...may he rest in pieces
The rear drive shaft is the Losi 8T front shaft...perfect length...the top of the center case has to be dremeled inside for the big gear to spin free and the brake cam from the front brake is now used in the rear, notice the "race bend" on the brake lever
!
fits like a glove.
I'll give a better write up later with more pic's<<<

Tech Adept
I'm new to on-road but I have been racing off-road on and off for 6-7 years. I have been biting my tongue while reading some of the previous posts. Most of the racers in the GT class that I have met and raced against are a fun bunch of guys always willing to lend a hand and give input. From what I have read on this forum there are at least two individuals that comment nearly everyday that seem to have a lot of input. These two also seem to always be in the middle of the negative drama. Either taking something personal or throwing out comments of there own. It's sad because these two could also help move this class forward but the ego's keep getting in the way. I have personally raced against one and all I heard was bitchin and wining during the whole race, what a drag
I'm not going to mention any names but I think the majority of the members that read this forum know who I'm referring too. It doesn't seem to take much to get them worked up either. Hell this post alone may get them going, hopefully not this is not my intention. My hope is that the new guys to the sport don't take this forum as a sign of what this class is about. Again the guys I race against locally are all real fun and the competition is not only fun but we can trash talk and no one gets bent out of shape. I got out of this sport (yes I said sport not a hobby) because of all the drama a few people always must be apart of. Let's challenge each other to make each other faster and remember we are doing this for fun. I'm going to the Texas Biggie in a few weeks and I'm looking forward to some good competitive racing along with some nights shooting the shit with the guys. This is what it is all about Everyone is going to have an opinion, if it doesn't match yours no big deal. It's after all just an opinion. What works for one may not work for the next guy. Now how many days till the Texas Biggie? Is it race time yet??
