Well, it is a great looking body. The wider tires give it a little meaner look.

Most of the flaws are still in my Stratos body if you look close enough but white paint, decals and good camera angles hide many things. It won't be entering any Concours shows any time soon but it'll be great for bashing. I glued the new tires on last night and it's ready to run this morning.

Edit. First run with new setup went well. Those HPI Pirelli's, man! With the extra grip and the wider rear track, the steering is crazy fast now. Still handles great. Doesn't slide as much and hangs the turn a bit faster so cutting or going wide could be trouble. Gotta nail that line. Going out for some video later.
