murphy3428 - litesink
Lowrydesign - Kose axles
rctenracer - thorp 48 pitch gears

I apologize to whoever it was that helped me get those front hpi's

Some assembly required :wink: (hopefully soon)

I had one for a short time. Once I got it cleaned up I realized that the flat aluminum chassis was too flexy and overall not a good match for the 4wd kit so I put it on a regular tub and sold the sassy plate.

Lots of good stuff on there do you still have the 4WD assembly?
Remember it's either a runner or a shelfer. Everything else is just parts.

Thanks everyone for the compliments on my stash, I didn't know they came in blue either until Brian told me he had one.

and if I would have taken it out of the cloudy bag and seen how nice the blue was..........I would still have it :roll:

But I am happy that Dave has it, he does some killer high quality builds and is a great guy to trade parts with.

Still think that you should go with gold shocks :P
