This is one of my other Foxes already pictured but I am in the process of building another and I have been trying out different wheels and body colors. I have decided to go with black and I dont know whether I will put any decals on the new one as yet.
The wheels are re-re Holiday Buggy with the original front tires and Hotshot rears squeezed on. I had to use a 6mm hex with a couple of spacers to get a big enough gap between the top control arm and the tyre. The body is a TBG and differs slightly from a genuine Fox at the rear. I pulled the body slightly forward as most seem to rub on the shock tower. The rest of the car is pretty much standard Fox except the Tamiya swaybar, Tamiya Supershot GT motor and a TEU-104 ESC. I would like to thank Unclepunchy, Bullfrog and Beefmufffin for their help with all the Fox parts so far, you guys have been awesome to deal with

I need about 5 body shells to do up more concept ideas I cant wait to see those Day-Glo orange wheels against all that black and if I put the decals on it will tie in nice with the orange pin stripes

i love the yellow on black of the shocks. i wonder if the orange wheels, yellow shocks and blue stickers will make it look a little like a bowl of fruit loops (do you have those in australia)? i wonder how the clear shocks would look on this? ooh...

On the Super Stealth Fox will be Blue/Silver You-G alloy shocks when they arrive finally so it should tie in, still dont know if I will sticker it though.

You need now 3 CVA II black dampers and the car will be perfect.

We have Fuit Loops here Beef been called one myself lol. Still going to go with the idea I discussed with you ,the You-G shocks should tie it all in nicely, however I should have bought another 2 repro bodies as there are some interesting variants I want to try like a camo FAV style as well. I do love the boxart Fox but if I have several bodies with bolt ons I can change the look any time I want and it will be even easier when I have my 3rd Fox

I love this look....black on black with those rims/tires looks awesome!! I'm inclined to recommend you leave it in this 'stealth' mode by not applying the decals but then again I think it would look great with some contrasting colors.

I'm torn myself in regards to this, guess I will have to buy another shell form TBG
