Thanks man. Havent been getting as much done the last few days as I would like but if I want to keep my toys I have to keep the wife happy too. Is a hard balance!!

Well I got my foams changed. I made my own set of dual foams. They work really well. I got my brushless in and running and it is pretty cool. It has a smoothness to it that is just awsome. The torque is right up there with a 55t if not a bit better but it goes as fast as my 27t. Also really snappy if you want it to be. While i was out and about testing in the backyard i took some pics for your viewing pleasure!

Thanks, Yah I decided to go fenderless after my son fell on the body and broke them off. I put new styrene diamond plate on the sides and looked at it and was like hmmm I think I like it better without! Havent decided if I am going to leave the diamond plate silver or paint it black.

I have a full day of doctor apt. for my health issues but maybe I can start the tubework. I have decided I am going to put a rollbar on and some tube work. Was thinking if I do it right I can make it hinged at the back so I can open the top without having to cut the body up too bad for the tubework. Not looking forward to the extra weight up top though.

Liken the fenderless look, looks great! Still liked the "fangs" out the front... Tho I didn't think they would stay there or be good for crawling.. lol.. glad to see the chassis turning out so well for ur build!

Thanks man and thanks for such an awsome chassis! I couldnt have done it without it! It still has fangs they are just a bit shorter! Going to pick up my tube here after lunch. Should get it started today! Though the 97 degrees outside with 92% humidity sucks balls! Maybe I will do it in the basement where its cool! Good idea! Im sure the wife will bitch about the stink but I dont really care to be honest!!

Thanks!! So when are you going to paint the body on your rig? Or do you like it clear?

[mgputer]

I am just ordered a set of 2200 lipos. Wanted some smaller ones because with the new body the 5000mah battery doesnt fit so well anymore. These are about an inch shorter so it should fit well. I also have a new set of R35 ripsaws coming. I am going to use them for trailing because the work so well in the dirt compared to the flat irons. Flat irons will be for the rocks because they are flat out awsome there especially with my new home made dual stage foams! Wife wants to take the kids swimming now. Looks like no tubework again today!

Ill probally never paint my body im thinking about swapping it to a stage 3scaler instead

Going to stick with the beetle body? I almost made a beetle scale rig. I love Volkswagen beetles!

[mgputer]

Well i picked up my tube, brazing rods and some steel for brackets and what not. Talked the wife into not making me go with to swim! Burns and headache from the fumes here I come!!!
