Thank you sir, I originally planned on using the HPI wheel & TQ tire combo but I made the mistake of pulling out a set of JPS wheels I was holding for a different build. Once I held them up next to the car the choice was simple, lets see plastic wheels or brand new machined aluminum

That is a beautiful build SofaKing, thanks for sharing.
love the combination of all the parts.

Nice & Clean!
Looks great.

What he said nails it. The SPA looks perfect on this too

Thanks guys, I know it's taken me awhile to get it to this point but I'm real happy with how it's come together.

Thanks sir, it's a great looking motor and I couldn't decide what to put it in. I have a real clean Novak M5 that I'm going to pair it with. Since it's a mild 18t it should work perfectly, plus that aluminum endbell definitely adds some extra flavor to rear end

Only one question, are you planing on using 2 wings? (double wing mounts) only playing but seriously .

Yeah I installed the wing tubes before I got my hands on the BRP mounts. I just haven't gotten around to taking the tubes out yet (could be because they're so shiny ).

yes they are shiny. I like them and it sounds like it might be a hard derision.
What body are you planing fr it? great work.

Thanks, what I'd love to get for this is a Hot Bodies stealth fighter but they're way out of my price range. So, that won't happen unless someone repops them (hint, hint mrlexan ).

I do have a couple nip original U.S.A. made vipers, I'll probably just slap one of those on it and call it a day.

what about a Mirage SS or Turbo Mirage?
I always thought these where the best looking bodies out their.

I do too, I've actually got one of mrlex's repops on this build: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=10675 I just haven't gotten around to painting it yet

I also have a Jammin' Jumper lid on the shelf already so I figured something different would be cool.

sounds like the vipers will do fine.

Could I please get an update on the builds that are and were going on in this string please?
Thank You!

Hey I'm still waiting for an update on the blue Sassy Chassy build....how long does it take?
