Pics are all there for me.

Looks badass, love the stance. That's tough to get right sometimes with portal axles.

Thanks, been adjusting height and weelbase I think something like 10 times, then didnt like the wheel width was to narrow, rotaded the rims for a wider stance, still didnt like it, was lucky and found some wider hex hubs that did the job.

Color is bordo or American pink I think, was the closest I had to the color I was going for, painted it with low light so when I saw it later I was a little shocked, but its growing slowly on me, not gonna paint it again now. My little boy loves it!

Got some details done, only problem is I cant see very well when it gets dark, have a problem with my eyes, but it shows in the photos. Anyway enjoy.

Lights have been painted top side red and bottom orange but they dont show in the photo.






Glued the exhaust , as it wasnt fitting because it was hitting the screw holding the rollcage had to modify the exhaust a bit.











Glued the lights



Here I was in a hurry so I just made a knot.




Im starting to like it

Nice area to crawl, curvature of the earth looks neat in those pics, or is that just the type of lens you were using?

These pictures were captured from the video, I'm using a GoPro 3 and it does make the photos bend, I think due the wide angle lens.
