thx guys for all the great accolades
i worked hard on it and i didnt rush it!
there is kinda a little bet with the guys at the track if i will even run it
after showing them the pics
lol
PHIN- mets colors hell no GO BRONCOS :wink:

JWSCAB- Just a single mount off the rear shock tower if u look at the last pic without the decals you can see it

FLIPWILS- I was going to have the body go all the way back but it didnt fit rite, i really thought the viper body would fit alot better but
it didnt as you can see from the last pic you can see how much space it is away from the chassis ,i was going to use velcro on the sides but that wasnt going to work,and also it kinda gave it a modern feel with out the tranny cover

JOEY- I will, they seem a lil soft with the stock setup

now to run are not to run this is the question :wink:

what springs do you have on there, black front/green rear? bypass 1 with what oil? i am personally not a fan of running the truck tower on the nose, after moving to the RPM style front tower (wider top mounts), i wont be going back to a truck tower.

get it on the track, scratch it up, run the poop out of it...

Did you put the washers between the motor plate and the chassis in the rear?

Splendid car Farmer, great job!!!

Looking at your project I decided to paint at least one of my older chasis. I'm also working in a couple of RC10 projects just like this, one with RPM parts and another with more modern parts (DynoTech arms, B44 axles, etc.). They will take me some months to complete, but just taking it easy, no rush!
