My Yota Makeover
 
I have had my Yota Hilux for a while now and have used it about 4 times, when i first did it i primmed it and was going to paint it but thought for a basher it would be ok left how it was with the primmer as it didnt look to bad . But I hated all the black chrome and was not very happy with the turn out of it...so i gave it a makeover.

Specs:
R2 tranny
Stock silver can motor
645Mg servo
1.9 stompers on stock wheels (de-chromed and painted black)
Soon to be FX-R ESC

Before,Primmer with black chrome parts

Very nice! I'm glad you kept it, and didn't trade it or sell it..:D:D
Keep the pictures coming. I can't get enough of the red Hiluxes.
It looks very nice, any body off pictures? Do you recommend to switch the 3 Speed for an R2? One more thing, is the R2 slow with the stock motor?
Thanks.
"thumbsup"

EDIT: Wait, you are still selling it...:x

Ya I realized you just posted it again. Hope you get what you want.
I was asking about the transmission because I just got a Hilux High Lift, and was curious, since the 3 Speed is rather big/heavy/bulky, etc, and the truck has poor ground clearence. :D

Moreover, what color did you use to paint it? Looks very nice.

You may have rocks, but I have other things...like ehh....uhmm...Hurricanes!!! lol. And I have 1/10 scale rocks in my back yard...
