here is an update on one of my current builds. thanks chris for those losi hubs, they work great. I still need to get the body painted, switch to deans connectors and shorten the motor wires...either than that I can get out there soon and start kicking some B4's up.

Why can't Associated make something more like this, instead of what they're making now?

That looks incredible.

Nice work.

The funny thing is that car in the end cost way more $$$ than a new FT B4. It will never turn lap times of a B4 but to me it is well worth it!

while i am waiting for my painter to get back from being out of town, I thought I would see what I could do to be cool. I bought a motor heat sink from Novak that I thought would look good, and I think it turned out nice. I had to really trim my motor guard, but it was worth it :D

that heat sink is perfect to bend your motor plate and/or chassis after a big hit. It may also destroy the wing and the rear pod of the body, it looks cool though...
