Tons of pics. Kinda in Chronological order. Not the most scale thing in the world, but I spent alot of time on it. I know I cant exactly impress you guys with it when Microgoat and Excesivefire still build, but I figured I would show you all what I have built. I just got done painting the body. The front stinger has about 15 hours worth of work, and the rear maybe 3. I will be towing a trailer w/ my brushless MT on it (incase you were curious) |

Thanks I love the chassis. And I got it on sale, so it was even better. The chassis alone made all the difference. I used to rock the WK with the stock chassis. Man it would get stuck everywhere! Now my truck has belly clearance for anything It out wheels anything I have owned thus far |
