|  Truggy Silverado In the making...K2/3L, geo's, pede, mx3, xrs. I have 1.9 mashers on hpi car wheels but for now im throwin the geo's and putting it in the 2.2 section. Geo's look alot better in my opinion. So for scale comps ill throw on the 1.9's. Been working on this thing for a while. Cage is finished and mounted, just gotta sand it, paint it, and make panels. My electronis are going in the toolbox on the flat bed. Will be all water proof when its done. Just a few pictures, horrible quality.    |

| Got a lot of work done today 9/8/7 Okay today i got quite a bit of work done. I got the esc mounted and sealed inside the gas tank. I got all the electronics wired up, i still need a little box or something to put the receiver in to seal it off so its water proof. I also got a mount made for the gas tank. I got the front of the cage mounted to the frame. I cut out the diamond plate panels for it, got some temporary tail lights and license plate (thanks to ax10). Now onto the pics- Mounted  Used some gasket sealer to seal up the gas tank  Panel mount ready to be brazed on  Channel'd the delrin so the wires can go underneith the body mount  Now put back together-       |

| 9/10 Progress. Got the panels on. Next step make tire mount. Then paint! Well i still am going to do quite a bit of stuff. But the next steps will be mount the spare, and then paint the cage....Silver, flat black, or gloss black.... Hmmm choices... Tire Postion...  I think i like it tilted up better. More so even than this.  And my camera died.. Only got these 2 crummy pics in the grass of the diamond plate painted.  1.9's mashers. I like the geos better. Just wish they didnt stick out as much.  |
