I picked this guy up a year and a half ago and have a lot of fun messing around with it.



Now to get rid of all these plastic links...











Hmm... that is interesting.





Interesting indeed...











I am giving the paint a bit to fully cure before I clean the excess overlay glue from the windows, I need to tint them yet. I have more to do, different wheels and tires, sliders etc but with the body painted and on I can piddle with it this winter now.

I kinda get an interesting 85_Ranger4x4 crossed with @bobbywalter's Ranger vibe with it...

My credo
Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
What did you get for links? And whatre you running for a battery?

I have a 3s in mine and boy.. it's so incredibly smooth at the beginning of its trigger pull.. way smoother than my scx24. Been considering a slightly lower turn motor for more zip but don't wanna lose any of that silky crawling ability.. mabey going down to a 30t would be a good compromise.

Links are Husky from eBay, nothing special mainly to shorten up the wheelbase.

I have Zeee 2s batteries. They seem to work OK for what I do.
