Default "baloo" version 3.0

well guys finally had some time this week to work on my new comp rig.
started w/ bender's new sw3 chassis and built from there. has all the usual stuff pede tranny, quark/park 400 combo etc. the only things I need yet are the new shoes I have on order and to paint up a new shell, but for now I'm gonna run my old body till the paint comes in. anways here are some pics, enjoy as soon as I post this I'm off to take her for her maiden voyage.

that's right turtle, no body posts. just a 2" wide x 5" long band of
velcro on both sides.

yeah the velcro holds awesome. I can pick the whole truck up by the body and the velcro doesn't let loose.
