I'm going to look into those black shocks. Maybe with some tuning they can be made to work.

Your black/gold is looking very nice. I'd have to give up the cash and put a black nose plate on it. Maybe have Ramen Noodles for a few days and get one!

lol I have another front nose plate that had been painted red at some point
so for now I will just blast it and paint it black (rhino liner on bottom pactra on top )
so it matches

did spend some time at the lhs today (needed some parts for a xxt im working on ) and foun a set of traxxas wheels/tires that fix my rear offset problem

I 3d printed some hex adapters with a 3/16 id , and then did have to open up the wheels to 3/16 also with a drill bit

but ohhhh so much better , I can now use all the lower shock mount holes

I also made up a 3d printed esc mount (I may re design it so it sits lower before everything is said and done )

just waiting on the front mono shock tower (fingers crossed it shows up tomorrow )

It's looking good!!

Man, that's a lot of gold.
Wait, let me find my sunglasses... there, that's better.

thanks

really wishing my front shock tower was here lol

well poop
guess all this waiting was fruitless lol

front mono shock setup showed up today with rear new rear shock tower and trans brace

only to find out it only fits on the short a-arms not the worlds extended arms
oh also need to dig up a wing and some wing tubes

oh well
dug up some shocks and she is all ready to go
just need pinion and to adjust the turnbuckles

Looks like you need an extended front tower for those front shocks.
If you decide to add one, hit me up. I cut parts every day, and I ship daily too- no waiting lol. Pick your color, length and style. These are just some popular ones

might take you up on a set can you do red (need a set for my hot tricks buggy )

I do have a set of short shocks i will be using but they need a full rebuild and i hate rebuilding shocks
and with the rear being longer and stiff i thought hey why not run it stiff lol

it actually did pretty good on its maiden run only got one roll over at the end of the vid and that's with the steering rate at max i tuned it in so i can turn good now and not flip her
but i do have a pretty wide turning radius (deff not a track racer )

The only red I can get is a bit dark compared to the Hot Trick red
