Default Chevy K10 'Build'

So my SCX10 TR showed up at about 7:20PM today. UPS must be swamped.

I haven't even drove it yet since I don't have any batteries with Tamiya connectors...nor do I have a soldering iron or extra Traxxas connectors.

BUT, I was busy with other things!



I ordered a 1980 Chevy body along with it. Wheelbase is ever so slightly short but I worked the fender flares as far to the ends as I reasonable could, so once the body is mounted it will be fine.

I believe Im going to be out of town the next few days (starting tomorrow) but when I get a chance all the factory electronics are coming out and be replacing with my TQ3, Hitec 645MG, and perhaps the XL5 out of my Stampede for the time being.

I dunno what else is in the books yet, but Im open to suggestions.

-Chris
