Default Well i bit the bullet

ordered a XRC comp chassis 60/40, powder coated black, rc4wd R2 trans, and i am gonna strip axles and electronics from my homemade frame. Also got 4inch aluminum threaded shocks,( i will shorten fronts to 3.5) and plan on rotating the rear axles up some. More to come and i regain consciousness after spending so much money.

a preview of what your rig will look like to "ease the pain" (just use you imagnation to make the frame black)



I hope you got the new black R2 Tranny... that would look niiiice- call it "knight rider"

yeah i got the black trans, stuff should be here in a few weeks so i am excited. The whole thing is gonna be black, wheels, tires, trans, links, frame, i hope it good.

Also i was gonna get the crazy BMVII chassis but i felt like i would break it in half in a second. This oneloked a lot more substantial and we dont have any comps here in WV.

The xrc will take a pede trans but it works better with a smaller tranny.
