|  My MRC BUILD!!
well i got this in a trade from parker88 he had done a rear 4 link and removed the upper plate..  but the stock suspension just wasn't my cup o' tea.. so i hacked up the stock upper plate and reinstalled it. followed by tearing the shocks apart, adding internal springs and reassembling them with the spacers on the outside. and mounting them inverted     then i removed the skid and made a new one out of a peiece of UHMW. i also re-relocated(he had them there when i got it) the electronics to the rear and made a custom battery pack that sits on the front upper links..(till i get my lipo)  i also lowered the body, removed most of the cow print, and added 1.5oz to each front wheel.   next up i will be adding some of my delrin links. (Check out PUNKUUP5150's build) and new tires.  sorry for the crap pix.. my girlfriend has my camera.. ill get better ones soon!! |

Try a m3 Holshot in a 2.2 to get more sidewall.

This is a nice build, makes me tempted to get one. P.S., keep your head up! You'll find yourself with a better job soon! |
