"Blue Is Better" Traxxas TRX-1, Resto-Modded after 2+ years of labor 
- Seabass one-off graphite chassis and shock towers
- Original airbrushed body
- Lovingly fitted AE Big-Bore blue Shocks and Surnbuckles
- Original and NOS black or black-dyed new plastics, be they TRX or others...
- B4 Top-shaft and slipper, RPM B4 cover, custom-cut motor plate
- Blue LRP IPC with blue wiring <gasp>, Blue LRP Phaser RX, LRP "Pink E" (but blue!!!)
- Many, many, many blue bits, pretty much every thing that is not plastic is blue all the way down to balljoints and except c-clips and hinge-pins, and come from AE, Yokomo, Integy, STRC, 3Racing, YeahRacing, RPM, ... to the point where it's almost ridiculous...
- Other things I'm forgetting for sure (getting old)
