I have had the orange dye for over a year. I was originally going to do an orange/black team car, but couldnt bring myself to dye white CE front arms. Once I get nose tubes, I will start working on electronics, they will probably be Novak orange :)

Got some good ideas on bodies so far, not firm on anything yet though.

Joey,

Here is mine. Took it around the track as it sits currently and it did well once you got used to the traction or lack of traction coming off the rear. The little arms and smaller tires make the car look odd on the track, but it did turn some heads.

13.5T motor is powering it currently. It is cool!

Kripto, your orange came out much better than mine! Too long in the dye for me, but I am happy with it.

MDutcher, looks great. I am waiting for parts and other things for this one, so in the meantime I am building up my JRX2 :)

long time no update...been building the 2 "other" brands at the same time :)

Got a body in the mail today...this is going to be a neat racer, I'm diggin it!

Image

Front fits inside just fine, no issues :)

Image

Rear is tight...gotta think how to narrow it up a touch, not much at all needed.

Thanks Chris :) I may have finally (after all these years), picked a paint scheme I can live with. Now to paint up a body for the TLR22 and Atomik V2MR, as well as my shortcourse trucks. Gonna need some more paint!

Love the truck body...not sure I can make it work without major mods to the buggy (to narrow it up), thinking maybe doing a JG style truck set up on it? But it does look good slammed down tight on a T4 chassis 8) 8)

Image

On the T4 chassis...will need custom mounts to make it work, but that isnt out of the realm of possibility.
