I like the rock racer style shaped panels. Saw a buggy with very similar panels in the latest Crawl magazine. And the green tubing is a great addition also. |

I would shorten the grill part of the panels a little bit, looks a little funky, but it is definatly a cool idea! |

| that's what I thought, I'd figure I would leave it alone since I hacked off way more than I wanted. I might do that next time I can afford to hack up another escalade body.

Great looking tuber. Did you paint the tuber or is it powercoated?

| thanks guys. I have a r2d & a mamba max. I need to move the servo from the front of the tranny to the top because it won't fit in the chassis w/ the brushed axiom motor I want to use. I have a small brushless motor bolted to the tranny right now but I was having problems with it holding on a vert on my other comp crawler
