Chubs and knuckles once i break the stockers (still havent), and the interior is goin into in on wednesday. then it will actually look scale! Home made: My newest toy: |

Have you tried flipping all the lower link mounts on your axles ? It gives a better COG and better handling with the sacrifice of a bit of ground clearance.

resuming the build on the wraith tonight. the panels are painted and ready to install. lots of custom work being done, i am building this like nothing ive seen on here before, hope it looks good. that reminds me, i may need a new hood panel to cover the front a bit. would like to add high clear rear links, and a couple style modifications to it to clean it up. thinking of making a couple skid plates. stay tuned for updates, as my mind is coming up with new ideas constantly. | |
