Ok so i got this thing about 3 weeks ago... Since then it has been driven into the pool (transmitter glitched with another) and i lost the front dogbone so it is 3 wheel drive till tuesday.

After all these i have out longer shocks on the front and doubled up the rear. Stripped the bodies stickers and went to sharpie town!

Sharpied the rims black also.

Well im finally back with this thing! After a long break of saving money up on the side i have got a new brushless system in my sc10b and slash leaving the left overs for this bad boy!

I hated the stock body height so to fix it i cut fenders more, didnt do enough so i raised the body with some easy mods. I raised it about .5" and it looks perfect. Very happy with it now just need some new rear fenders with the stock cut.

A little styrene to raise the side body mounts

Also a little silver sharpie to trailing arms and this thing looks great! Just need light bar on roof and front bumper

Future plans:
Rpm 6 canister light bar up top and rpm bumper with LEDs.
Maybe exo rear light bar on the back?
Fender wells and foam on the roof to make up for the gap between cage and body

Shakedown run...

Put 2 packs through it today and ofcourse ended up with something breaking. Got it on the bench after some cleaning and pulled tranny out as it was screaming! Nothing was damaged so i pulled the motor... Wow it caught fire in my hand when i turned the car on and have a couple throttle pulls. Not sure why but i tossed the motor.

New question, should i get a 4 pole motor or is the 2 pole enough?
