Well, since you guys just love my thread so far I figured I would throw an update into the mix lol!! :(

Last night I went ahead and completed the DO it yourself CMS and in the process somehow I pulled the positive wire off of my motor so I seized the opportunity to get a new motor, I went with a Titan 12T just so I could get some speed out of this thing! I also got the 27T motor fixed while I was at the local shop so I can run either or when I choose.

Next in the chutes:
2.2 flat irons (purely for cosmetic reasons and the outrageous width)
Winch
Vanquish/currie axle housings

Any ideas on which wheels to get??


P.S.

I'M ADDICTED!!!!!!

Well for one thing... you had a bit of "Smudge" in the first couple of pics. Glad you cleaned it up.

Second... Your glass is empty... Need to get a refill.

Third... Looks good man. Really cool Flat Green. That is really cool.

Fourth... Go get it dirty and scratched up! ... Good Job.

The Titan is a beast in these and you can't beat the price.
I preferred the paint job in the first pics. Nice patina.
Looking good. Happy trails.

I was joking... Your truck was dirty. I liked that. I was being "Sarcastic".. not offensive.

How well do the tires do mounted backwards? Haven't tried mine mounted that way, but curious if they do better that direction or the other.
