The latest: This weekend I went over to Dinky R/C for a half day of RC fun. While over there we got a set of Badlands I had cut down and narrowed to an appropriate 1.9 tire size. They came out pretty good. Once mounted up and cleaned with some Simple Green they will look like new. I am liking these more than the blue claws, these come in just under 4" tall.   |

The chassis and link were sent out Next Day air today and will be here tomorrow as will the new body! It will be a good day for sure. I am excited to see the paint job as I haven't even seen a picture of it yet  I won't have the new wheels yet but that's alright. They are the same offset as the stockers so I will be able to check clearances with the one badland I have mounted. Those stock tires SUCK to get off the wheel. I also was able to get the screws out of the other Diff I had here. I will get the locker installed tomorrow and get the axle mounted up. I got my 2.2 cleaned up and rebuilt tonight for the 2.2 Midwest Challenge so I wouldn't have to mess with it tomorrow night. GFP! |

Thats sick Harley. I will have my MRC tomorrow so we can start the builds together. Those look great. I want to try to narrow and cut some rovers. I am itching to start. You are too probably. That chassis will look good. I want pics as soon as possible.  |

The rovers will be too large to be legal. Anything taller than a Panther is pretty much too tall. I think even the Panthers have to be reduced a little further and stretched. Not 100% sure though. I am definitely ready to get moving. | |

Thanks B for making it a damn scavenger hunt! You know how hard that is to do on my PDA while driving to work in rush hour? I am loving the little "Special" touch  It looks great!  |
