....and for the record, that video was 1/16th throttle, there was no way I was opening that thing up....i.like it just like it is on the shelf...anything could have went wrong, broken throttle linkage, servos were glitching even on 2.4ghz...anything!..but gonna run Sept 21st for Thumbs at a Fest!

The Diamond One got the body painted with a automotive clear over the decals...getting there

Thanks, the One did it...it's a darker blue in person, flash changed the color a bit

Had to strip the car down, refinish chassis(wrong color) and relocate bellcranks...got battery mounts done too....processing nicely....batteries (Sanyo)/Novak esc, Tekin receiver up next

Diamond One got it finished!
....just need a drivers man and steering wheel if anyone has those

Now waiting on body posts, and for the Diamond One to finish the body and wheels/tires....remember, he's doing it the way he raced it back in the late 80's

Got them ordered!...if they don't work it's @Frankentruck's ass!

Congrats to the !

Yes, we ran these tires on a very loamy track in 88'

Thanks, I did have to move that hole where arrow is at bottom, and shave of that part at top cause it was hitting the bulkhead, but the bearings dropped right in perfectly!....with a few tweaks, he can put it on the market!

it's early, but this is the start...yes it will have an ORV tranny with a visible Chain...parts painted by the One..stay tuned

Kept stock except some really cool front shocks

Been on the horn with Dadio....gonna be an epic build!....without him it's just another
