Body looks killer on there but unfortunately it would require body posts about 13 inches long in the back... Bummer.. Fast little truck.. cant wait to get it on the sand track tomorrow...

I'll try to get some video of the spot we're using for the terrain park..

I just dug through some boxes to find a jconcepts over tray i have in stock and stood in front of the truck for 15 minutes trying to figure out why the over tray was
so damn small.... Finally... it occurred to be that I was staring @ a Slash chassis..lol..

It's amazing how much time we spend on them just to beat the $hit out of them later .

The MIP shafts seemed to create alot of wobble in the drive train (in the Dingo). Should I not worry about it based on the relatively low speeds these things run? The Wraith didn't have the same kind of problem with the MIPs.

Like "binding" wobble or "unbalanced" wobble? Make sure the shafts are true and the pinion gears in the axles are seated correctly.

Maybe both. Not sure at this point. The diff pinions have a lot of slop. Nothing develops any heat running and seems to move smoothly on power. Probably out of balance wobble.

Thank you sir. They don't conform exactly to the body, but close enough. I'm thinking blue body at this point. Flat black on the outside would look cool but not sure how to pull that off.

Looks nice Dan, You can paint the outside flat black but you'll need to make sure the prep is thorough. Scuff the lexan with a med/fine scotchbrite pad and use laquer based semi or flat spray bomb. Can't use enamel paint because it's not flexible when dry unlike the laquer.
