Well, I got away from this project for a little bit. But I am back on it hard now.

Here is what I have been up to...
I went back to 1.9's. A C3 is just going to tear it up. Put the SCX trans back in it and did away with the t-case. Put in a set of Currie axles. I also acquired a Rogue Elements snatch block. I installed a toolbox in the bed to hold all the goodies. I am in the middle of installing a Hoosierdaddy LED light kit.

So, as it sits right now, it looks like this.







I ordered up a set of LockedUp Adversary SLW wheels with Agile rings. Of course, I had to get their scale hardware for them! Also threw in some FI spools to take out the slop in the axles.

Also ordered up a set of CI foams and TSL XL's to put on the shiney new wheels.
