[88gtanotchback]

Hey guys i picked myself up a new toy to play with. Just got it today.
I did a little unboxing ceremony for ya guys

I bought it new from a guy who did a few things to it. It came with this:
-Turtle racing front top plate in gunmetal.
-Silver aluminum outer beadlocks on it.
- Pull start and air filter outerwares filters
- DDM gas cap
- ATX windows front/side

I got an order made for the following
Killer RC v2-S "Killer Bee" Failsafe ( i run a DX3S)
-LED for Killer Bee Kit
-Killer RC Y-Splitter Cable

TGN 'Redneck' Dual Stage Pre-Filter for HPI Baja 5B/5T

Dual Screen "Crap Trap" In-line Fuel Filter

Killer RC "Killer Cables" Suspension Limiting Cables - BLACK

Team Twisted RC (Yamadude) Throttle Linkage Set for HPI Baja 5B/5T - BLACK

Snappy RC Ultimate Fuel Line Kit for HPI Baja 5B/5T

Hostile Racing Axle Boots for HPI Baja 5B/5T

The after market for these are huge, and I'm excited about learning a new truck, while still sticking to my HPI roots. i gotta say tho, stock seems impressive in itself, which is good because i would cost a fortune to upgrade everything. lol. so stay tuned ill keep you posted on everything!
