3 years... wow
usually a car that doesn't get near finished within a year get's robbed of parts for other projects in my stable

What wheels are those? They sure look an improvement on the orginals.
The PolyProp wheels of the frog are a joke: after running a single pack through a set of re-re frog ones they had cracks all around the bearings :(

Yeah sometimes that happens here in my stable also, but with SRB's I stick to the plan. The wheels are Tecnacraft (Blanks)......

Hey that's a nice Buggy man. Is that a lexan body? That body's sure got a lot of detail for a something that isn't finished.

That paint job is a hard one to do. I like those tecna's on there. I wish I could find another set in that size for my 4wd scorcher

[color=#0080FF]Pheonix[/color] Oh. I thought it had something to do with depression or something of that nature. You sound a little depressed from the way the comments are written. I'm still a little new in this website. I guess these faces could be a little misleading sometimes. I don't want to come off on the wrong foot being new and all.
