| ?? Well I decided to jump back on this project, I stuck a set of axial axles under the truck( just the housing at this time ) with a set of 3racing portal gear boxes. A set of Rc4wd 90mm shocks with Losi MRC springs. Currently it is sitting on 1.9 Flat Irons while I'm waiting on a set of 2.2 Roc Lox. Here are some true poser shots( no axles shafts, drive shaft or electronics ) The tube work still has to be painted flat black, I just keep forgetting to do it.

| and for those that didnt take the time to read, these are just poser shots. No axles, no drive shafts, no electronics. I had just set up the suspension and want to snap some pics. |

Good to see you're back on this one Justin. I'll bring a can of flat black with me next time I'm in Calgary, since you're apparently hard up for paint for the tubework ;)! I think it'll look better with the 2.2s on it. Looks a little "empty" at the rear. Throw some 2.2s on it and let us see ! |
