First and foremost I'd like to thank Andy(exesivefire) for letting me do a clone build of his "WTF" project. I originally saw his build online and was fortunate enough to see it run at the 09 Scale Nats when I attended as a high school graduation gift. Look, when a rig flat out works like his and is so different from the Hilux bodies Velcro'd on a SCX you just gotta love it.
So, my plans are to build a rig similar to exesivefires but also put my own fab/design into it. I typically build low, lots of droop, big tire rigs. I'm shooting for a Go Fast/KOH style rig
