| Re: C2 Taco Buggy Had the chance to work on the paint job. Started out with designing the door and hood decals to be die cut out on the Silhouette sticker machine. Just way easier than cutting tape if you have the option...Peel n spray... Some Tamiya Gun Metal Gray to start.. Once this layer cures and the stencil sticker is removed I will be spraying in the pattern with this light blue.. This is as far as I will be able to get today. |

Thanks for checking it out. Ready to rock.. I'll be putting in a couple test n tune runs and then it's the LERK comp this weekend ...... There are still a few finishing touches and things I want to add / upgrade but this is how its rolling for now. Painted up the Yeti fuel cell and the Exo radiator. Suspension travel. Hope to get it dialed in and the cage repainted before AZ Nationals. | ||

Very nice. The graphics and paint are clean, and fit the rig. Overall it's just well done. Looking forward to some shots of it on the rocks. |

Ordered up a set of SSD Dana 60 Housings and brass tubes from RPP .. Any heads up on install issues or other parts needed to make them bomb proof or do they function stock and go together as good as they look ?? | ||||||

The only issues I had were that I needed a bent drag link to clear the cover. Also the stock axial bolts for the locker had more clearance than the ones which came with my FI spoils. Those are the only issues I had. I hope you got 2 housings as the rings are on opposite sides than stock. I love my D60s. The tolerances are much tighter than stock and the composite is also of a higher quality. |

Amazing rig looks very clean but also looks extremely capable. Can we see a good pic of the suspension.
