Pinted (painted) it

Had to massacre the body to fit and Velcro to hold it, the body was short for the chassis (T3), so I did the best I could, I’m tempted to buy the short chassis and a new body, but just tempted

Made some big money shock changes

Its goin in the Hotshot!

Rears are 2 inch and fronts are a little smaller - perhaps 1.9 inch.

Glad it didn't come in the mail..... would've cost an arm and a leg to ship it all.

The track that I used to race at when I was a kid...

I often forget the camera as well. No worries! Since you're running metal batteries, you'll definitely want to fit those insulators I mentioned. It's really not about the battery connection type, the insulators are meant to prevent the sharp edges on the aluminum chassis piercing the shrink wrap on ...

Wheely well packaged....

Rolling chassis back in one piece now...body is next up

Thanks for comments all. Here it is with the body cut and fitted. So the paint job is up next..I don't tend to go with box art, so I'm thinking of either staying with the box design but using yellow & blue from the standard Rocky scheme instead, or going with a different design from box art alto...

Its a done deal people.....big shout out to winner_evo for finding me a 240sb! It was from England i think and huge money....$118 shipped but i got it comin!

I came up with a really nice deal to make these red kyosho shocks very user friendly to assemble and no leaking. Be a few days to confirm and i will post pics.

The Tamiya TBLE-02S esc has a large on/off switch that wouldn't stick with the small piece of double sided tape that will fit on the chassis. I am going to have to figure out how to mount it. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50034808888_2a88fdba69_b.jpg 20200622_161127 by Justin B , on Flickr Th...

Here is what i did to red shocks, works awsome, no leaks, no air, simple to bleed too. Use a dremel and file round around the threaded aluminum piece where tye teflon seal used to go. Put an oring in the new groove created, finger tighten and enjoy! These are now one of my favorite shocks, i used to...
