I got some more progress on this!

I got the electronics in temporary locations. I can't completely finish their location until I finish the water tight boxes ... which needs to wait for the body mounting ... which is waiting on me to finish the paint/clear.

I'm actually torn between wet sanding it and going for a smooth finish or leaving the orange peel finish because I kind of like that it will hide scratches better.

I did get to test drive it and the 2 speed tranny ... that's AWESOME!
Top gear feels like normal for me and the low range is killer control. I think anyone that gets one of these will really enjoy it.

On to the pics...

Testing Electronics locations...


I got bored waiting for paint to dry...


Sorry Tommy... I'm addicted!


All the pics...

I'm out of pocket again for a while after this so I'm going to go nuts waiting to finish the clear coat!!!

LOL, I guess you finally opted to go with the fleet colors, looks good!

Well I did not realize it was a match for the wheelbase, I might just have a spare body to use
