Shame on you for the K-Springs....

Otherwise, it looks pretty cool.

LOL... Have you ever tried to put ASC springs on V2 shocks? Good talk!

I bought big bores and I am having a chassis powder coated Orange for this project. I think I am going to run it at Cactus. Will see.

I think I made some headway on this one today... Its completely different, LOL. Will have some pics up soon. I'm going to run it in stock 17.5 class at Cactus Classic in a few weeks.

Oh... It still has the gold chassis on it... the Orange one was way to pretty to put on a runner so new plans in store for that.

Well, it's done and ready for action. Hopefully I'll try it out tomorrow! Here is a couple pics. I even painted a retro looking body just for some of you folks out there. Going to run it in 17.5 class at Cactus Classic. Thanks to Reggie and Jeff Harris for the inspiration of this build. It's actually more a Jeff runner now than when I started,

You guys are killing me with the 12mm shocks Are you LWB?

Looks great!

The new 12mm shocks look right at home on there. I really want to try a set on my 10T runner.

Its in short wheel base right now. Going to try it both ways today so I know the difference.

The shocks are cool! Had to be done! ... I took all the white parts off too, mostly because I had a few black parts here and there and they were driving me crazy being mismatched. I don't know. It looked like a bad school project! At least I kept the gold chassis!

Looks good, love to hear the track report and final set up/gearing. I think I am going to run my gold pan again @ the HRH Shootout, not as big a race as the Cactus, but bigger than most

I'm still working on coming to that race... Have a lot of stuff planned this summer though, so it may not work out.

It seems the brighter I make the flourescent orange on my bodies, the more red it looks in pictures. Weird!

Reg, I know you'd like to see the thing with bottom load gold shocks but the big bores really are awesome. My white car feels killer with them. I haven't run it yet so Sean will be the test pilot. I'm pretty confident in the big bores being the ticket though!!

That is a nice build. Love the paint. Good luck with it at the catcus classic.

LOL, they are big bores. i thought the fronts were .56's, being fat makes them look short.

kinda like........nevermind.

give'em hell @ the classic!!
