What is the green stuff you have used for the sides? Intresting servo mounts.

The green is aluminum, its actully cut from a blank street name sign. As far as being to jacked up, i have no problems with the cog, it stays on all four's rather nice. I just added a nice front skid plate, and a rear hitch, with a tow strap attatched =D

I like the body look, but BBB is right, it looks way too high for crawling. That thing will tip over on pretty small slopes.

Well, i just went out for a evening crawl out in the field, and poof, fried the esc right as i plug the first batt in. So, after partaking in a serious F.S.U session, i decided i was broke, and cant afford a ecs, so, that seems to be the end of it for me for a while =(
