but damn, you crawler guys are hard to please! haha I accept your opinions on body height but I personally think it sits fine. If I were to lower it I'd run into WB problems because the body is an 11.5" wheelbase but my chassis is running a 12" WB. So I think I'll keep it at the height it's at now plus I like it's crawling capabilities as of right now!!

I really like how the black looks on the fenders. Is that painted on the outside?

yep, it's just parma faspearl charcoal covered in Testor's Dullcoat. As you can see it is certainly not permanent but looks pretty good at first! haha
