Awesome! I just bought one today and I'm stoked on getting it built!

Any hop-ups you have done to it?

Just some 3racing shocks as they were blue to match the paint job better.

I do have another set of wheels with Proline M3 sticky rubber for the track.

Sand scorcher nose cone was a pain to fit, also lowered the front body post 5mm & cut the guards back.

Really? 2 in one day? If you guys only knew about my VW addiction. In HS, I had a 67' with 2214cc running mid 11's. My most favorite ride ever. I can still see guys faces in Mustang GT's at a redlight as I stood her up 3' in the air :lol:

This is nice - what other wheels will fit? Can you run brushless and a lipo on it? How is this different from the sand scorcher?

I really want one - I have to feed my VW addiction too :mrgreen:
