Looks good 1320king, I like the color. I've linked mine as well. They are nice trail rigs for sure.

Smart thinking on the battery mount! You might want to lose one of the two front bumpers. Looks a little weird otherwise. |

| Re: my tf2 build I've noticed this as well. I choose to run with just the plastic body bumper for just the scale looks of the truck, but have the bumper mount ready to accept the metal bumper when I go crawling.

I have both bumpers on mine but cut the outer bumper off right where it meets the chrome bumper. I have my winch mounted to the outer bumper. I think mine turned out really good.

You know you can adjust the outer bumper out some. It is adjustable.

made some progress on the tf2. moved the radio box onto the electronics plate. installed my rear 4 link set up and switched over to the axial style shock hoops for more articulation. waiting on my 3 link set up from rc4wd and im def going to put a set of better shocks on her. the stock ones are too short. any suggestions on what brand? I like to run a full droop set up |
