Default Mancave's Project Dirty Turtle Truggy

Ok guys I recently got a great trade from dkchance74, and i've been keeping it under wraps for a little while but its time to reveal the start of my dubbed ride " Dirty Turtle". Its based on an scx10 frame with truggy rear half and hardbody cab. The cab has some personality marks in the paintjob which is perfect since I plan on painting rust into those spots. For driveline I used a full RR internal tranny with VP case, Novak 35t rockstar motor, Axial AE-2 esc, Sr300 rx, Venom 5000mah 20C 2S hardcase, Axial simple light kit, MIP shafts, stock axles with UD front OD rear gears, stock 4 links, Gmade zero Gravity externally sprung shocks, Hitec HS625mg, Vanquish OMF 1.9 scalers using .350 hubs wrapped with 1.9 Pitbulls. The truck so far performs great the pitbulls give it a huge advantage, I might have to put some lighter oil in the shocks or relocate the mounts for a little more articulation. LMK what you guys think so far. I'll have running footage up soon and a ton of pics. Here's where its at so far:

Im going to experiment with shock oils for better articulation, Putting a full interior metal floorpan in, and adjusting the angles of the shocks
