Here are the pics:











My soldering skills are pretty rusty, so no crap about the solder job on the motor. The wire is the Tekin 12ga stuff supplied with the ESC. I would like a little longer power wires, so I ordered some Deans Wet Noodle wire. I really would like to use this 10ga Viper wire, but it just seems to large for the Tekin posts. I'm not sure how I can successfully install the 10ga wire.

I did NOT paint the body. I'm all thumbs when it comes to paint. Larry @ KustomRCGraphics did the paint work. http://www.rctech.net/forum/painting...s-com-107.html Worth every penny! I loaned out my Dremel so I wasn't able to get the body nice and smooth yet.

Wheels and tires are AKA. AE mods include the front and rear FT knuckles, FT chassis braces, and a few other parts. The motor is a Tekin T8 2050kV, ESC is obviously an RX8. Grid mount with the center diff riser removed as well. DE front and rear skid plates, and I have some dirt shields to install.
