Prepping my new MX8 for install. I got the battery wires extended so the plug will reach my battery and got the plug on.
Tomorrow, program and install.

Put some new 2.2 Hobby Soul rims and tires on the Gatekeeper of Doom tonight. The rubber feels good, nice tackiness to it. Will have to see how they do.

Wrenched on a Grand National, getting parts ready for paint. That's about it today, did not wrench on not much more, no RC but tomorrow we get our shocks to rebuild our Arrma Typhon when they're finally delivered

Got pics? Would love a gnx. Closest I came was a buddy with a 87 ss monte. 427 turbo 400 with a grand national rear end.

That's awesome! I have a set of Hobby Soul beadlocks & some Proline Boggers for the next crawler build. Those wheels setup so easy. Very fine looking crawler man! Love the graphics!
 
Black Betty had a child, bam-a-lam, the dam thing gone wild...

Got the Associated LT10sw, cheap, then came across this bug body on Amazon for $14. Had to change the front bumper and front body mount (used parts for the DB10), and removed the rear bumber. May chop the top off the front bumper...

Coolness! 😍
I've got a set of 5-spoke Star wheels in black. Once I get the skin off the body and get a few small decals on it, i may go with the all black look.

Now I need to change the plugs on the 2S batteries, and decide what to do with these two chargers that came as part of the LT10sw combos... maybe road trip kits?

I got the front end rebuilt on the Slash (I'm still waiting on the fixed length camber links). All new bearings, rebuilt shocks and diffs and a Reefs 500 Raw servo. The Extreme Duty driveshafts are so thick I had to cut off the bottom set of camber link mounts off of my shock tower to get the clearance. Tomorrow, the backend.
