Just need to try out my airbrushing skills on the body. I will put together a list of all upgrades and mods I made during the build. There were a bunch. Tires/wheels that are on it are for running on the local track. I have Imex Claw Dawgs on Beadlocks and Mayhems on UFO's for bashing.

Looks great. One question, what's this arrow pointing at? If it's an RC your other half is not supposed to know about you might want to consider a better hiding place...

Correct me if I'm wrong but that looks like an 1/8 buggy lurking under there....
 
Hey man that looks like it's going to be one solid truck for running. I bet you can't wait to break it in. Newayz good luck with it. I am interested to hear all of your upgrades.
 
I can smell those tires getting destroyed from here.....

Nice clean work! Congrats!

Fun is in the air....

You are correct. That is my Ofna MBX 9.5 hiding under a towel.

Towel was to keep debris off of it from my dremeling out the truck beds of all my Maxx bodies to clear the RC Solutions cage that is on it. After griding on 3 bodies, it looked like it snowed on and around my workbench.
 
that looks pretty tite dude. i kinda wish i could buy an SS savage so i can just put on all the hopups while I'm building. thats tite though.

Looks good rob. I see all the hexhead screws. Was this a screw kit?

Yes, I used a screw kit from Hex Screws. Well worth the extra $$ IMO.
 
I Just love the way that velocity white dish wheels and bow ties look!!! So freakin racey! Nice job man

Even tho there not proline tires and rims they are equal alike.

Or at least look like it lol
