nose brace tube are available in black on tower hobbies. as for the wheels i would look into converting the buggy to run 2.2" wheels. the b4 wheels are popular since they can be found new just about anywhere.

thanks for the welcome! i guess a group shot is in order gonna work on that tonight and figure out how to post pics forgot to mention the CEN truggy and buggy are E conversions or at least the truggy is anyway! thanks for the heads up on the nose tubes! i've been seing alot of those HPI star wheels looks really good any part numbers or a link to some i have tried the search button didn't get much?? my 10 alread has factory team blue front spindles would it be easier to fit B4 wheels? i have the MIP shiney CVD kit for the rear i believe it was for a B2 but lost the roll pins for the hubs can i get these separately?

Did you mean me, Rich? I check out rc10talk usually once or twice a day..... at least. ;)
We need to get together sometime. Did you get your bellcranks straightened out? I have had no time to get a pic for you.

nice little collection. Looks like you are quite the painter. The rc10 looks so modern with that paintjob!

thanks!! there are blemish's and a few runs and mistakes but at least i can say i painted them anyway! you can see the imperfections when looking closer but getting better with each body! i was going for blue with red flames and white but backed the red with white turned it kinda pink oh well at least it stands out!
