slash/ baja bug

[hende]

Decided to go the bug route with my slash.. Will be adding pics and info over the next week or two as stuff gets here .. as of now here is how the chassis sits..

Upgrades done
Alum shock towers front and rear
Alum front caster blocks and knuckles
Alum bulkhead
Alum shock caps
Custom cut rear bumper (to clear bug body)
Dyed chassis trans half's black
Rpm front bumper (soon to be dyed black)
Rpm arms front and rear
Blue Rpm gear cover (can this be dyed black with rit dye?)
Fuze 5800kv motor
Fuze esc
Traxxas 2075 servo
No name 2.4 ghz rx/tx

Stuff I'm waiting for in the mail
Proline bug body
Axial ax10 beadlocks (will be stripping and polishing rings)
Team3six sticker kit
A few Different sets of tires

With what i have what color would you go with for the body? I want to do one color only. (I suck at painting) So im thinking black,red or white?

Think I should strip all my blue alum parts and polish them instead?

And if you see in the pic's I know the front skid is broke new one on the way






Stuff I need to find yet locker for the rear,street tires,paddles

I'm thinking about 12 light for the top/front then 4 or so tail.. The best will be lipo's never ran them so I think I will be in for a shock.. Open to ideas on what lipo/charger to get

If you want the red off the beed locks you can use oven cleaner. then just repolish them.
