Recieved a truck off e-pig a couple weeks ago for $170. had FLM LCG extended plates, 1 FLM hybrid bilkhead,FLM uprights, and handfull of FLM servo mounts and braces, FLM center skid, 1 FLM differential cup, nice set of linkeages, a stuck OS 30VG, a stuck hpi .25 (they musta used traxxas oil, cause there was nothing wrong with motors after i got them ungummed)
heres a mock-up of the parts i have so far:

going to put LST shocks on this truck, get someone to paint a harley theme on a lid, and show the truck with my ultra classic at the area bike shows and maybe get some local interest in the hobby
 
OHHH I LOVE builds. This thing might give @Rolex a run for his money. :D

whats with that huge a&& motorplate, i want one of those as i dont have anywhere to mount my battery and reciever/switch yet.

that looks like good stuff rolex, wanna trade?
 
One more good idea for you, putting your rigs in a vacume sealed bag will lower your wax expense..
 
haha wax expense, thats what trucker polish and an air polisher are for.

I'm stuck now....got chassis all built and fabricated,losi 454 installed and waiting for its final polish. can't find the components to finish off the suspension arm ends. integy makes some orange stuff i would really like to have, but all on backorder.can't even find a complete set of silver
 
new pics, beautiful piece of aluminum when completed! having problems finding the hubs, carriers, blocks. integy makes some really nice orange coated stuff, but all backordered!

an almost completed project. looks real nice in from my eyeballs point of view. have a few tweaks yet.steering still needs a few adjustments. integy and FLM parts dont mix real well. Integy servo saver posts and FLM steering arm still need fixed. am gonna bolt them together. the revo reciever box worked out better than i expected. mounts great to the back shocktower with a battery velcro'd to the top which solved the pull/spin start clearance i was having. have not decided where to put switch yet. i am going to refab the brake/throttle linkeage, it just dont look like it will work very good the way it is now. sure wish i could find some orange Xl axle extenders, the purple clashes with all the orange!!!!! still need a XL sized body to get painted, but the stock orange body looks good too
with tires on the truck, its a bit shorter than an XL and about 1 inch wider.

BEST for last. it took me better than 3 weeks to polish all this stuff to a high gloss, alot by hand. skidplate is so clear you can see me and it started off all gouged with the original cut lines from the saw!!!!
