looks good so far for a esc i would use a lrp cause it comes water proof and is a great and cheap esc

body color go with a tanish color like sand then put a white top on it

Bronco 09-16-2007 03:49 PM

looking good chris, i like it so far. i agree with the tan, itll look good. and your 4 link looks good, but i sugest getting some sort of sideways mount, it looks cleaner, and its stronger"thumbsup"

Kranberry 09-16-2007 04:32 PM

thanks i may go with the tan but iam thinking more of a green with a white top

and if your wondering the tapped out area is where iam gonna cut"thumbsup"

Kranberry 09-17-2007 08:11 PM

well ive decided that a full tube frame is a little bit to complecated for me right now so iam gonna run a full body with a minor exo8) and ive painted most things chrome flat black8)and put the body on the right place

trim that body a lil more.....like the color tho...

dieselfuel 09-20-2007 05:20 PM

lower the body some, it looks like its got a big ol body lift on it. and those coil springs are out of control.

Kranberry 09-20-2007 06:53 PM

i will lower it, i just sat on the chassis to see what my truck will look like. and i have finished the trimming"thumbsup"

i have not started to peice together my bumpers. and i decided justt to go ahead an paint the roof green.8)
will update once i finish the front bumper more.
