you should clean up your wires so that it doesn't look so buissy. I like how you did the brace on the axle housing, it make it look different and is clean.

Yeah i still have lots of finish and clean up work to do i just wanted to get it out and run in to see if everything was going to work how i would like. So far so good the only problem i have is with the front suspension i think im going to change the mounts tonight.

Default Look at you go!

So it looks pretty good man. I didn't know you got a lipo when did that happen? How is that going? Probably a little to much power now. That is the last thing you need. See ya bud!
