I pressed the button and this happened.

It can't unscrew anything but I've chopped 3 rc's and 2 trees in half with it so far.
They're completely out of stock everywhere and they're going for $500 with two batteries on Ebay. Incredible.
I got these fellas coming this weekend, I'll have her ready to go this weekend. I just wanted to get some pretty pictures of it in the sun before I ruin it's chassis. It can all get replaced, but I've enjoyed building it a lot, what little I actually built. Excited for these parts, I bet it's going to be a lot of fun. I got the chassis brace, shock covers (I just liked the way they looked), a light and a 7600mah 2s, maybe with 2 5500 3s and the single 2s I'll be able to take an hour stroll.
I still need to buy a tire. The rain is so bad here lately. I think I'll go with an orange one.
On top, it's days, literal days are numbered. On the hood, maybe better? I was thinking of cutting the top part of the windshield out and mounting it upside down facing outward, I think that would protect it the most. Maybe in the headlight area? I think I'll use 3M two-sided foam, I've ripped drywall out of the wall with about a fingernail's width, hopefully that will keep the fault point on the adhesive and not the body or the light. It may be worth coming up with a way to make it modular so I just use it when I'm sure it's not going to be doing flips on asphalt.
Getting ready to do the swap.
It's a huge upgrade looks wise. I have the tail lights too but I don't have any glue handy, I usually have some of that Mercury stuff laying around.
Probably going to cut the body today for the rear part.
Could be going better. I think I'll just get the cut finished and then take some aquarium tubing, cut it down the side and superglue around the opening so even with rougher edges it'll look okay. I think a while would be good along with a dremel but I don't have either. I can pick one up later. I even tried a blowtorch and a knife, these bodies are tough which is why I was thinking a file might be perfect.
Still have to go up over the height of that sticker, I was just trying to see if I could find a way to cut smoothly. It's too thick for hobby nippers and kitchen scissors.
Well I felt like I was fiddlesticking it up and then I saw I had a lot more to go, I play with scale miniatures so I'll do something with those edges. Plan to cut the blue lines with a dremel later on.
Went and got some tape for the wheel wells and a Dremel at Home to fix this up.
Dremel was much better.
Bunch of stuff arrives tomorrow, glad I got this mod done.
Lined the wheel wells and the part of the trunk that will get rubbed on by the tire a little.
