looks good. Is that a home made upper link mount? What are you crawling on a fossilized dinosaur bone |

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.

| 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!
