nice start. the slider/boatsides came out nice. i use the killer t-cases on all my builds too, leaves lots of room for a floor pan!!!

@tw!ll · 09-13-2011, 07:40 AM

Great looking start Jetdog! Really like the boatsides

It's a really awesome body, can't wait for them to come out with the K5.

WOW thats a bit freaky dude they are cool colours ...

Dont change the colour either 2 blue EB'S will be cool an i had the same thoughts for the front just a little wider an sharper on the bends maybe im still tossing ideas around...
i m off to go check your build out...

jetdog racing · 09-14-2011, 06:14 AM

Here's a few pics of the EB sittin on 1.55's an iroks im thinkin it may stay this way i will get a drive in on them in the next few days as i have hh brxl an a couple of different turn motors . 13t wraith motor an 21t an 25t hh motors so i have a few options to choose from i know it will be running 4s to test thing out. Im sure it will break something lol

jetdog racing · 09-14-2011, 06:23 AM

These pics are before i lowered it a little to suit the tyre size i will get some better pics tomoz ...

@tw!ll · 09-14-2011, 07:28 AM

Looking awesome mate! Love the color. I really like the look of the 1.55 Iroks on there. Hadn't seen them look good on more than a couple rigs, but they are starting to grow on me.
