Do it. I dare you. Haha. Good work. I like the motor protection and I like the cage black much better.

So next I made up some fender wells. A bit tricky since the wheel wells are different sizes. I had to use a cool whip container in the back and an ice cream bucket in the front.



Then I managed up all the wires and tucked everything away as neatly as possible and then installed the interior. Everything is now hidden from view.



I mounted up the motor which hides the esc and rx quite nicely.



Looking good now.



Then I made the hood open so I could get the battery in and out since the full cage make it 8 screws worth of difficult to get to the stuff inside. :-)




I still have a few finishing touches like exhaust and maybe some lights. :-) Still have to paint the stinger too.

Gosh man, it's looking really nice. Good work!

[avanord]

Looking good. The hood is sweet.

I was thinking basket on the roof with lights.

That bug is turning out awesome

Still haven't driven it since I put it all back together. Maybe this week. Work has been hectic. I did add the magnet to hold the hood closed though. :-)

[Tin Soldier]

yeah, it's about done. I was thinking maybe a few lights and I need to paint the stinger. Might do that today actually. :-)

[Josh_Br]

Hey no problem. You are welcome to do the same for me.

[89lxmorepower]

I will next time on the comp not the nook tablet

[Tin Soldier]

Just some updated poser shots after the rebuild. I drove it a bit and the rear shock mount broke loose. Oops. Guess I have to redo that.

Dollar Dan getting ready to hit the rocks.








This is the tire stuff that twisted off the shock mount.





Guess I have to come up with a different shock hoop design or try rebrazing this one.

[Josh_Br]

I love dollar Dan under the hood! That's an awesome pic. Bummer about the shock mount.
