Regarding box art, I saw a YouTube video that claims the box art is more orange than it should be. Should "box art" be orange, or PS 19 camel yellow backed with orange? Also, how is everyone painting the black portions?

Showing my ignorance (most of my experience is with 1980's stuff), but the chassis is the 40th anniversary gold chassis. Battery is mounted inline, and the wires stick out the end of the battery, preventing it from fitting. It's a 2S battery.

So I learned that a battery with wires coming out of the end won't fit into the battery cup. What are others doing? I hate to cut the original cup to accommodate the wires.

Figured it out, laid the axle on a pair of pliers, then hammered in the roll pin.

Any tips on how to get the roll pins into the rear axle?

Found a Fantom re re from Japan, its on the way. Curious what esc others are using. The Lemans 240S is really heavy. I want to keep a vintage kyosho theme, so I guess I'll stick with the lemans esc but its like a lead weight.

Waiting on Javelin on backorder from Amain. Went ahead and purchased lemans 240s esc, it just arrived. Man this esc is heavy! I want to keep everything kyosho, but the weight!
