Hide those tires from light and air, they'll turn green before you know it. :(

Needs contrast to be frank. White, black, anything to relieve the blue. That's why I was curious about the body. The right paint could pull it together.

If any of you Losi guys are interested:

I believe I saw one or two of these (truck) kits in an obscure shop a couple months ago. I'm not into Losi's, but there was no missin' those blue tires....

It's at the same shop that still had a couple 10 year old B3's on the shelf:


www.glennshobbycorner.com
Projects and shelfers:
Late Edinger, RC10B2, Dual Sport, GT, Kyosho Turbo Ultima, Triumph, Tamiya Sand Scorcher, Blackfoot/Monster Beetle, '67 Beetle, Nikko Rhino, Traxxas Fiero, Slash, Hand-built Dune Buggy..all on here somewhere...

You need the blue 92 tooth spur gear and get rid of the battery brace and get yourself the blue puretech strap.

WOW, what a great looking shop, would love to spend some time (and probably alot of money...) in that shop. Your car looks great! If you are still looking for that shock, I am pretty sure it's the same as the shocks that come on the Desert Truck. I am sure you can find them on the bay.
