Got time for a little work on it today, had the pipe and Shock braces come in yesterday.

CPI BB pipe installed can't wait to hear it scream, much better protected than the stocker which bent the bracket allot and caused the bolts on the head to be at risk. Now I don't have to worry about it with this one.

Also got the Rear TR V2 brace installed it's a very nice piece.

Full force RC front because it looked nice at half the price plus plenty durable for my needs.

My Team Chase Cage and Billet posts will be here Friday so until then I will wait:)
 
Nice looking rig man, can't believe I missed that video. Is that a MX track? I'd love to have that close by. You guys are making me seriously think about getting back into fifth scale with all of this you know? :D

Yeah the MX track is in on my uncle's property (70 acres) I need to go up there and use the tractor to make some doubles though. just waiting on some better weather...
 
Got the cage installed today and clearanced it for the pipe, I already knew that I was going to have to do this and I have an idea for a brace to take the place of the material that I removed.

This thing is ridiculous:)

Syphon, very nice looking truck. Gassers are so much fun and the hop ups are endless.
Let us know how you like the new pipe and motor combo. I've been toying with upgrading to that pipe as well.
 
A little update- I have only gotten maybe 30 min on the new pipe because of the weather but that hasn't stopped the hopups from coming in:)
