I had typed two different responses, but I keep leaving myself open for way too many comments, so... :|

I'm home and got the body trimmed and wing mounted. I think I might put some velcro between the under tray and body since the body seems a bit bowed out. The under tray was too narrow so I had to cut some slots into the bottom of it on each side. I didn't want to but if I didn't the sides would be deformed. Decals are going on tomorrow, when I have had fewer beer in me, lol.

Right now, I got the 2.2 ebay wheels on with some modern 4wd losi pins tires in place and will add the spacers from Reggie when I get them. I also have a 2.0 set of wheels, with correct offset, with modern losi step pins on them (thanks Rod for narrowing those front step pins)...we'll see which ones work better. I will get my Team shocks soon, and the TCS drive which will also go on before it gets run.

Color choice looks awesome. I wanna see a pic with the green wheels. Did I miss where you got those green wheels?

Thanks for the compliments.

I will change the wheels tonight and grab a photo, but for now here is a teaser on the decals

Oh, and if any one knows what type of rear shocks these are, can you let me know. I ordered a set of team shocks off of ebay and this is what he sent :x , at least the front ones are correct. I may be looking for a set of rear shocks still if any one has a set.

First off, my dog is back to normal...he had a piece of X-Ray paper sewn to his ear because he hit it and got coliflower ear. The vets split his ear in two, drained it and flattened it again with the X-Ray paper. He's all good now and we will be hitting the beach again this weekend :D

Second, here are some photos with both the pink wheels and the green wheels...I'm glad I like them both because I don't know which to leave on.

I guess I have to move on to the more technical stuff now. Got to get the steering servo to fit, the team shocks on, get the wires to fit nicely and oh yeah, I need a lipo to fit this thing. I got velcro battery straps coming too.

Both wheels look amazing!!!!... as the entire build does. But, you need to rock the green rims as the pink ones are the narrow offset I believe and it makes to car look too narrow.

Great YZ10!!

I'd stick with the green. The pink is too typical Yokomo. But I do agree, they both look great.

I will have to wait until Rod chimes in to find out where he got the green rims.
