it took me a while to get it down to where i want it, and to get the handling that i wanted. Using the savage suspension conversion, T8 shocks, sway bars, XL length outdrives and maximizer offset rims adding 2 inches to the width of the truck and lowering it about 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches. i...
Well the i got the lid painted by a guy that has done lids for me before, zelike racing. He does great work, the turn around is a little slow, but for such a great shell i think its worth it.

this was built to be a racer thats why it sits that way, and by god does it do it well. It totaly blew away a revo with about 3k worth of work with no probs, i had it stuck t 45% throttle when we went

so i finally decided to let it loose a little bit just now and all i gotta say is WOW...this thing is a whole new beast compared to what it was. I haven't opened it up all the way cuz i still haven't gotten use to the new handling characteristics and acceleration, but if this is a sign when i...

I had a friend back in the states paint it for me at cost, he has a site on the internet somewhere but i lost the link. If i find it ill let you know, don't think he will do it at cost but he is a good painter.
i ran it earlier today, broke in the mill, but it started to get dark, and problems arose.
the screw holding the break linkage backed out and the linkage fell off during a pass, went right into a curb going at 1/2-23 throttle......and not a single scratch, god i love this truck. Gonna...
