I like the body that is was I use on my k2-3L. Yours looks better thought you took your time on the body and masked it off I just did one color. oh I did take the time to mask off the tool box. Can't wait to see it all done. The f-650 trend is catching on in a big way.

Thanks for the input, the body was just mocked up in those pics, I cant figure out how to mount it just right yet so I might wait untill I get a bumper set up and work from there. I cleaned the body up too as far as the rough edges. I will post more pics of it soon.

velcro sounds like a good idea, what do you build brackets and put velcro on them or is there an easier way?

I might order some more stuff later on tonight, maybe some bumpers and stuff like that. I was thinking about making a roof mounted light bar with like 4 lights on it, not sure what else. I'll lower the body and hopefully get it mounted soon.

Hey if anybody has a highlift I need to know which parts tree has the mirrors on it, I think they would look good on this body.

After over a month of sweating about the right way to mount the body, I gave up on stressing about it and just did it. it came out awesome, so I decided I had to get it running today. after trying to lock the tranny diff twice, and tweaking the body so it doesnt rub, it woks pretty good. one question though, do the traxxas trannys always turn really hard when they are locked? Ill post pics tomorrow hopefully.
