Talking Addict's K2-3S K10
I decided to switch to 1.9's and do a full rebuild on my K5 (Now it's gonna be a 80' chevy pick-up not a k5) Here is how it looked on 2.2's First Build Reign K2-3S K5 Blazer
K2-3S
Pede Trans
Jato Shocks
Ax10 axles
Tamiya Hummer wheels
RC4wd Mudslingers (Thanks Again Tim_B)
Proline Blazer Body

Mocked up w/body(this isn't the body I'm going to use so ignore the excessively cut fenders I got a little with the scissors back when this was a 2.2)
The new body will be this one http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXTDA9&P=7

looks good man

i would suggest some bigger tires though, like some rock stompers or crushers. but if you want to keep the bogger look, try some reduced 2.2 slingers thatll look sick!

Thanks But I'm keeping the slinger's because I like how they look, and I'm going for a Daily driver/weekend wheeler look so the slingers are here to stay
