Whao, cool! Neat project 8)
Is the exhaust going to melt the rear left tire, or just oil it up real good? :P

Looks cool already. Need to change that carb and center that tank to keep that body low. I think that's what keeps a nitro buggy looking good. It looks like the exhaust should clear the tires fine. The shock on the other hand......
Keep up the good work
