First upgrade is gonna be the diff. Stock diff is geared and is a heavy 41.5 grams. I replaced it with an MIP super ball diff which weighs only 33.5 grams. Since I had my scale out I lost a few more grams with a Robinson Racing pinion, 2.4 grams vs. the stock pinion at 7.6. I also replaced about half the screws with titanium ones.
SPA 240WS is the power plant

I think those wheels are one of the highlights of this re-re. But then, I've always been a fan of Centerlines.

I am a Mountain Dew drinker (My dentists #1 patient)
Where did you get the Pepsi stickers? I was looking for logo's for RC's and never found a good selection.

I love vintage decals. Been collecting for 20+ years. You can try eBay. Every once in a while you can catch a nice lot for the low.
Still looking for an Autographics 7-11 sheet...
