The truck is a winner, the driver...not so much :lmao:. I did hit a few mid 17 second laps in practice which is cookin' along pretty good. I had to replace the ancient Novak XBR speedo with a Tekin RS Pro when it pooped out and I'm also running an Orion Vortex 17.5 motor. That's about 3 bills worth of go-fast, so I hope to do better.
I like the way the Hummer is coming along, any thoughts on final color?

I'm gonna try and use Duplicolor. I picked out red and see how that turns out.:mrgreen:

You shouldn't have any problem seeing that rig on the trails, that red really makes it stand out! Looks like a winner to me "thumbsup".

I am trying to set up the suspension with a droop set up but I don't think I'm gonna like it. I'm not sure where to start.

That's a tough one, suspension feel is mostly a personal preference as long as it does what you want it to. The stock SCX10 setup is always a good starting point, unless you're running something different?

Well, I already changed it. I didn't like the feel of it on the bench. I'm trying to make this work without buying another set of shocks so I went with droop in the back and springs in the front. Now all we need is for the

Getting closer to done :mrgreen:. Got everything dialed in to the new radio system, electricals tucked safely away except for the wireless winch controller (YAY!). Got the cab back closed in, liquid mask on the windows and details, links covered and whatnot. Took a few short cruises around the livingroom with it, I think it's gonna be a winner "thumbsup".
