This is a badass runner! I love the shocks. Jconcepts makes such nice stuff. I've built up 2 sets of those same shocks in black, but the blue looks great. I may have to place an order, lol.

I love all the details you put into it. I would have a hard time driving it, it's so pretty. Great work!

Factory Works sells a real nice front mini bumper for pretty cheap. It may be a good fit on this truck if you don't have that planned out already.

Thanks! I have a piece of kydex I'm going to make a bumper out of. The jconcepts stuff looks and works great. I bought a pink chassis set to use for this but I don't think it will look good.

No, I think the black chassis works great. You should just sell me the pink chassis!

Cool idea on the kydex. I've been meaning to order a sheet. I have a few pieces I want to make. Seems like it's easy enough material to work with?

Decided against the risk of breaking a white arm?

Yeah I'm not totally sure! I keep going back and forth on using them or not.

Up until recently, one of my bashers was a white arm 10T.

At one point, it was just a hodge-podge of spare parts thrown together. It had a gold pan and six gear, with 10T suspension and Traxxas wheels.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

So the pink chassis and nose showed up today but the chassis was actually the florescent red and the nose was pink. I do wanna use this chassis for my racer so I need to find a new or very nice used red 10t nose.
