Well I've not updated in a long time, but having a nosey around here on TC and seeing Wyoming's version of this, I had to have one :0
I took a couple of weeks to put this together after it arrived from Stella. It's a pretty straight forward kit to assemble with the body being the most fiddly part. I'm not the best when it comes to painting anything at the best of times and the skinny 'seals' around the windows were omitted due to them being tricky to apply! It's going to be a basher and that's usually the case with my runners :P
The white rims were purchased from a Chinese ebayer and the tires are from the Toyota Hi lift 3-speed. I prefer the look of these far better than the kit wheels/tires which are totally out of place for the style of the body and would suit something like a stadium truck far better. During assembly the chassis was fully loaded with ball bearings and I've used a Traxxas radio which has a waterproof servo, ESC and receiver on 2.4ghz. I'm also running the kit supplied Torque Tuned motor and the standard 18t pinion. I'm looking to chuck in a Sport Tuned and 20t pinion in the future.

Looks sweet, nice wheel choice!

Lovin' those wheels - of course as you say, anything is better than stock! The red paintwork really suits it too - fantastic!
