There is no end to your wallet is there? Looks like it will be a good build. Oh, and on your sig, it says you are getting the bruiser today. Are you still getting it? If so, i want to see pics.

Well my 1:1 VW just went in the shop for engine work...so im gonna have to sell some stuff to fund that. I think I bent the valves I wont be buying rc stuff for a bit.

As for the bruiser...i postponed meeting the guy cause I had to worry about my VW today. We are still trading and im hoping next Saturday will work.

Went on a trail ride with a few guys today.

Here are some pics that I took today. The stacks in the lift were just stuck in and need to be fit for good! They look so great on it. Now I just need a front bumper, LOL.

Tires are off of Jakks Flywheels from Walmart, Toys R Us, etc. They have been discontinued for a while so the only way to get them is ebay or on the forums

I just got a new set of Highlift tires and I tried those, and the Goodyear Wranglers actually seem to work better on rocks even though they are a good deal harder. In loose dirt the Highlift tires would be better as the Goodyears do not self clean well.
