oo wow, I am totally wrong, I guess I havent seen that buildup thread. That just makes that red one the shiznit. The thing I dont like is that cheasy roll bar on the silver one.
That black hood on them both really looks cool.

i like the single better, but make it come out at the corner instead maybe.
did you lower the body with the 3 speed in there, is that pretty easy to do?

toolbox looks awesome! single comin out of the corner would look great(just like on my 1:1) .... with more run time.. those leafs will break in and provide quite a bit of flex..iv run mine around and with 1.9 stompers on it it will stuff the rear tire into the fender well running no shocks

again great looking rigs you have, wish i had the paitence you do.

keep us posted

I like the tool box, and I like the idea behind the exhaust however it doesnt look right because the muffler is with the tail pipe. I personally think the tamiya exhaust is 110% "ricer" , I would make some out of some regular tubing and have it come out in the same spot.
