Ya, i found some street tires in a box. It works really well! The next upgrades I want to do are adding a slipper clutch and putting longer rear a arms on it.

Alright, the body is finished drying and the tires are mounted

If the suspension proves inadequate, it's just a few parts away from being a Rustler. That would solve any problems. It was more than that. You could say it was just too many light years behind the SRT and TCP in every way for me to maintain in my stable of RC cars... Right, I was thinking about do...

Alright, I see what you are saying. I will enjoy it.

Everything is Green! I chose the new bandit electronics because they are cheap and efficient.

Sand pattle tires mounted

Alright, the car is stripped down and ready to be cleaned.

To he honest its because it is my first vintage build. No, its not valuable, but since I dont have many cars from bitd its valuable to me.

I got really lucky and the tires came right off the rim without any glue residue or anything.

Now its time to clean up the rims.

Here is the car, mechanical speed control and all.

It looks really good for being up in a garage for so long.

Every person who has ever made a paper airplane when they were a child is like "man, where was this when I wanted it." I had this idea, but I was too young to do anything about it. What i used to do is make a balsa wood frame with my official boy scouts pocket knife and put paper wings on ...

Merry Christmas y'all. May your dreams be filled with gold tubs and a arms.

B5! B5! B5! If only I had money
