Finally it is back together. Third time on the paint job is a charm. I stripped so much I actually made $200 in $1 bills
So far only upgrades are longer frame rails and a ton of RC4WD 3mm scale screws. I have a new front bumper mount from Integy on the way as I stripped a couple of holes in the plastic one. Otherwise parts are stock Tamiya for now anyway. I need to have it running by the April show in Newton.
Thanks for looking,
Chris
