I went for a lil bashing earlier...had a vintage gold pan ready to rock n roll. Velineon, 3s...30/81 gearing.....n I went to this old runway.....I think I got 20 seconds of riding in at most. Too bad I didn't have wings on it...It woulda taken flight right off the runway. Instead, it started cartwhe...

Some clear pictures before the electronics were installed......

Actually it is reminiscent of graffiti from the mid 80's...( the good ol days....n when graffti had style)

........maybe the losers of this one can be disallowed from entering for a few months. ....

As far as the Dhawk parts go.....The caster blocks were pretty perfect. The rear hubs, the same....but the bearings are a tight fit, and I mean tight. You just have to make sure the bearing is perfectly centered, n then start PUSHING DOWN n don't give up if it doesn't seem like you're getting anywhe...

.....

Pretty much finished the sumbich.....Just gotta paint the body which is somewhere between here n California right about now.... I need a better camera....n having to make the file size much smaller to fit doesn't help with the clarity... ( I don't know why that "image resize" app , works o...

Man, these are some cool freakin cars.....
That's a strong line up!!

Me, I'm a noob.....
I'm over here buying re re's ....adding hop up parts....trying to hook my stuff up without knowing anything.....Basically amateur hour.

After seeing this, these brothers sent me right into retirement.

Even though it's gonna be a shelfer..(eh it might do a couple laps in the parking lot)...it gotta get fitted with some electronics...n I think I found em. A friend of mine had bought a tlr 22 2.0 over the winter with plans of starting to race .....He just never found the time. N when building the di...

I ordered some gold counter sunk washers from Dynamite.....I want them for at least two of the screws on the shock tower....but I have a feeling the "gold" might look cheesy , kinda like what youde see on the inside of a cabinet.....In hind sight, I should've ordered the orange anodized on...

I was supposed to go do a small spackle/paint repair this morning.....A brother called up n cancelled so I can play with my car....This is heinous. :D Gotta do another repair in a few hours.....depending on how it goes I might have to cancel that one too.....Kinda want to start working on the beater...

I have some JC wheels and I wouldn't try dying :( they seem like more plastic than nylon. If anything it might muddy it up but I don't think it will take I had a feeling about that.... Well, being I have a bunch of white sets and I won't be running it...maybe I'll try that krylon spray paint made f...

The remains of what I started with.....
This ones up next. Probably over the weekend....n it will get beaten bad. Real bad.

........that's it for now.

Should be done with this build tonight.....not much more to do.

........just a lil more to go.... Still undecided about the ball cups in the front ....I'm curious to see how it will look with the wheels when it's done. This stuff is addictive....(and getting expensive) Coke fiends got it cheap. Edit: I'm thinking I'll end up going with the JC racing 5 spoke whee...
