Got it painted and most of the decals on.

I've got a Hornet Z parts tree coming, which will take care of the lights and driver. After the driver is mounted, I can finish the roof decals.

Considering that the Bear Hawk decals weren't designed for this body, I think they look pretty decent.

Just need some AmPro chassis braces and this one will be done.

Got the Am-Pro upper and lower chassis braces installed. They are a little awkward to install but not terribly so.

Combined with running long screws all the way through, these really help stiffen up the chassis.

Looking good! Man I had forgotten all about the SPIKE esc. Installed of of those in a friend's car before, I think it was a super blackfoot.
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.
