Cat Scratch Fever
 

well after thinking of what body i wanted for my scaler i finely settled on one (well 2 but I'm not paying 60 bucks for a proline ramcharger) i was jamming to the Nuge and found some videos on youtube of his bronco.... so i went in search of pics

losi mrc 1.9 black chrome rims $14.00

Helluva way to brake it in. Drive it like you stole it.

Damnit man! I was just down in the lab cleaning up a bit, when that New Bright TJ sitting in the corner started calling to me :shock:

I blame you for this!

Looks like I need to source an axial for parts donation :twisted:

i think the plex has the kits dirt cheap "thumbsup"

Update dude UPDATE!!"thumbsup"

bad news is i took a few pics and i don't have the light to do it justice :cry:

whoopin' my azz

need to get my head straight on which route and which projects to work on!"thumbsup"

well you got so much going on its hard to do...

I blame it on adult ADHD! :mrgreen:
Was just looking at 1.9 wheels and tires on rc4wd truth be told...really dig the 1.5's though.

as big as the hpi bronco body is the 1.9's look right on there if ya know what i mean

I like the 1.55's too. But Dewey I think is right, I think they will be too small.
