'da blue guy
That is a nice car. I ve been wanting to do that to mine. Im buying it peice by stinking peice now that I finally have my sons T2 running and I just picked up anohter T2 off ebay that was ready to run. Id post pictures of my trucks that really aren't much to look at but I can't find my usb cord to my camera. I think the guy that lives in the dryer that takes socks got out and stole it. LOL.

scr8p, how much modification to the pan did it take to get those wide rear RPM arms to fit. does the pan have to be cut (i can see yours looks like it has) and if so, which holes are you using to fix the suspension mounts in place?
a nice photo of the underside would be nice

when you get the worlds rear suspension kit, it comes with a template to do the mods to the chassis. after the chassis is cut out, you'll only need to drill 2 holes for the front of the arm mounts. the back of them attach through the existing stock trans mounting holes.

Thanks.
But tower is not the end all of RC info, although they are pretty accurate.

Re: 'da blue guy
i've never seen blue ano'd .71's. however, the b4 rtr kit has blue shock bodies, but the fronts are .89's. i know they're still as liitle long, but not as long as a 1.02.
i have never seen the bodies sold seperately, though.

Re: 'da blue guy
Thank you chaps, it's as I thought, unfortunately .89 would be too long, ho hum.

You could strip a set and anodize them yourself. I would do it for you but I still don't everything set up in my garage yet.

Re: 'da blue guy
Thanks for the offer Tad
, I'm not bothered enough to go to too much trouble, I'll just pick some of the teflon ones up from tower when they get them back in. I just wanted a set of new none leaking shocks for a runner and thought these blue ones looked coolio

it'll most likely just get a white spur, and a blue pinion if i can find one.
the rear tires are TQ-21's.
