Looks good. Nice mix of after and before images (blue springs and then red springs...dead give-away).

As I have commented on others, nice ride...but could use a healthy coat of mud. Go and get that thing dirty.
 
Looks Good.
"IF" you ever plan on gunning it, you may want to re-route the fuel tube away from the shock spring. It looks as if it may get pinched real easily.
 
Good catch Eddy.

You might want to use a longer length of tubing and route it up between the body post supports just above the shock tower and then down to the HSN. That would keep it away from the springs.
 
Yeah thanks for the advice guys dully noted and it will be taken care of. Sky as for your comment of needs a healthy coat of mud well MY pullstart is broken. I have no idea what the hell is the deal with it too. I think I may be needing to get a new one. ERR
 
Have you taken the pull start off the engine and looked inside, yet?

There are a couple of possibilities and most are going to be a pain in the ass to fix. If the spring is broken near one of the ends, it can be repaired with relative ease. BUT it requires removing the spring from the case and re-installing it when done. That is the pain in the ass part and requires a lot of patience.

If the pull start line is broken, the job is a little easier and you can actually buy the line separately. I bought a few TRAXXAS pullstart lines and keep them on hand as spares for when I need to rebuild my own in the field (a not to uncommon of an occurance).

Let me know if you desire to undertake a self-repair of the pull start and I'll offer whatever help I can. If not, you could always ship the sucker to me...I'd repair it and ship it back (if it was repairable).

Otherwise, you are looking at about a $25-30 bill for a new pull start. You could get the new one and send the old one to me for repair and then you'd have a spare on hand in case the new one broke...you get the idea.
 
THX sky again. I am going to go pull the engine out and see what is the problem this time. See I already had the guy at my LHS fix it for me and I got it home and installed and pulled on it a few times and voila it just came all the way out. I need to figure this out this time.
 
LOL...depending on what was broken and how it is repaired, that does not surprise me. My first attempts at field repairing my pull starts resulted in a similar occurance. I have since become quite adept at it, and my pull starts on both my T-Maxx and Savage are re-built pull starts that I did. I have two brand new ones still in the bag as spares, but my rebuilds have not broken yet.
