TC3MIKE, that is a sweet paint job,
Almost finished.
I have to say this is one of the best kits I have ever built.
All the upgrades FT stuff is awesome. Big upgrade from the SC8e build.
Starting my paint, of course I am going for a Dallas Stars theme.

Setup:
Shocks;
10 hole tapered pistons, accordion boots, 45AE oil #3 hole and O/B in front, 40AE oil, #6 hole and O/B in rear,

Battery:
Cut the battery tray to accept Nano-tech 6000mah 3s packs. will post picture tomorrow.

Motor/ ESC:
Tekin Rx8 with 208 update and timing advance 10 with 2010k final rpm 5445 start rpm, Tekin T8 2650kv motor with 15t (stock) Still testing!
The motor fits funny with the stock mount, really tight against the chassis.
New mount on the way
Big track with big jumps.

Additional:
Put drive boots on the front and rear drive knuckles at the diffs.
Vp pro k wing
Elite RC motor mount on the way thanks B.W.
Attention
Big thing to remember is the steering bushings in the front knuckles use red loctite.
Put the loctite in the hole carefully (little bit will do) then put the knuckle in the C' hub with the bushing and screw.
They will fall out keep an eye on them

This thing was fun to build and it was hard as hell to go to work tonight LOL
Pics tomorrow!!!
