Yup, he is a good friend that was holding out on me but I definitely didn't pay that either so I can't blame him for trying :shock:

And......done! Had to run and pick up the shock shaft today and was able to finish her up. Well except the body. Got a new Hitec Challenger radio installed and its ready to run. Oh yeah, the shocks leak like crazy just like bitd :mrgreen:

I couldn't bring myself to cut the chassis per the manual. Should I?
