Weird...

They are 3racing shocks for Kyosho Lazer ZX5. Grabbed a couple sets on the bay. 24.99 I think.

When I put the car all back together again, I put the differentials in the wrong place (front in the back/back in the front) and now have to take it all apart again.

D'oh. Still waiting to hear from Mr. Lexan about a new shell for this baby....

I feel like an a$$ saying this but, I'm really thinking of selling this car. I'm too afraid to run it.

All I really want to do is bash around with the boy, and I feel this car is to precious now, and someone would treat it better. Jeeze I sank some coin into this thing, but I don't want to wreck it anymore and have to fix it anymore.

edit to add:
selling it:

get any extra bodies to liquidate ?

Nope, just got the one I painted, and it is going with the car.

So, I'm keeping the car. Did some stuff over the weekend and waiting for the rain to pass so I can run it. Put the sway bar back on to see if there is a noticeable difference in handling. Also, got a nice piece of lexan and covered the front and back of the RPM bulkheads.

Now I'm looking for another one that I can build and shelf.

just cover the front rpm bulkhead with the lexan leave the rear rpm bulk head open.

so any rocks fall out.

you don't want to trap junk in the rear housing.

Ah, I didn't even think of that when I did it. Thanks!
