I am feeling a bit blue these days................
Features all the blue parts I could muster. Includes Trinity parts all the way around, XXX BK wheels, Spec XXX tires, Spec XXX shock bodies RPM front arms, RPM blue ball cups, Losi graphite chassis and rear arms, XX rear sway bar. Everything is pretty much new.
Still need a 1.2 blue shock body.

Very interesting color scheme. What are you going to do as far as body paint?

Body will be a Protoform Ripper X, as for paint, just like I don't run stuff, I don't paint stuff. At least not yet anyway.
I just wanted to do something different with the remaining parts I had for the XX.

Yes, the rears took me about 2 years to find and thanks to James, I was able to put an end to that search.

To be honest, I am not too keen on the blue tires, but I am going to leave it as is. I figured most wouldn't like it, but I just want to be different. I would look much better with black tires.
Is the blue 1.2 new? If so, I would appreciate the opportunity just to get this done. Let me know. Thank you sir.
Jay

Brandon's supposed to be doing the Pro Body. I am hands off, until he tells me either he doesn't want to continue or for some reason can't. If he tells me either, I will be all over it. In the mean time there's plenty to go around.

They smell like normal tires. Nothing out of the ordinary.
