Nice list of internals man! That servo is the bees knees! I would hold off on the c-hubs and knuckles....MIP might be coming out with a front end deal... MIP front axle kit, anyone interested? |

So I haven't updated this in a while. So here is a small update on my build. So I decided I really like the look of the alum side panels. Fit and finish is great and easy to install. Thanks AMF for making it painless. Do I paint them to match or get the matching hood?   New rear filler panel with integrated tow hook. This thing is sweet install was easy and I love the look.  More shots      Last edited by acesal; 03-30-2012 at 05:51 PM. |

So after taking the pictures one thing was bugging me. The rear light cutouts just didn't look scale to me. So I changed it. What do you think? Before: After:   |

The rear light change looks much cleaner, however, I liked the way they were protected before. Also, who is AMF that you mentioned. Thanks |

Yeah I plan on getting the hood and top, maybe the lower boat sides. Need more scale stuff I think. Really need to find a roof rack, the ones out there just don't excite me so maybe time to do some custom work.
