here is a little gem i got off mike the painter ellis. the plaque and the body go together. i put the body on my composite craft jrx pro. notice those aluminum nuckles. those were made just for mike back in the day. he said their were less than 6 pairs made. they have bearings built into them. i added a cam pro motor since he raced for them.

Mike the painter and skull racing, there is a blast from the past. In my peak racing years age 14-16 he and skull were the local hotshots. If I recall dominating the A mains at a couple tracks I used to go to. I think they had some national level sponsorship as well. I recall another guy Matt in Skull. I seem to recall strongly them being very sure of themselves and bit over the top obnoxious. He helped me set up my YZ-10 once and it was my first trophy B main ever so I have to say that was good.

They drove me crazy as a kid! I want a rematch!
