I finished building it a few days ago, but I didn't run it until yesterday and today to break in the engine. I've put 2 tanks in it and the plug is a nice brown color.

I am very satisfied with the HPI Pipe. It is very throaty sounding and it delivers.

I don't care much for the blue HPI Springs i got. I thought they would be allot stiffer than that. Also, I am having a leaky front shock, i'll address it later today.

The Hostile Mini MX tires on the front and rear of the car can take some major punishment. They are nice and tough. I like the look of them on the Proline Desperado Wheel.

I am running a Li-Po pack in the receiver box and decided to modify it so i would not have to take it out of the car each time i wanted to charge it. With that, I made it so i could just plug and un-plug it at any given time.

In order to be able to remove the motor for service, i made it so i could unplug it and remove it without having to remove the whole radio box or the engine shroud.

I am waiting for the Rhino underbody so i will not paint the shell until i get it.

Let me know what you guys think.

nice and smart mods you got there. i too modded my kill switch wires so i could disco it from the box and kill switch. great for teching or engine maintenance. no need to fire up all the elecs to run the motor.
 
That looks slick Rossco. I was looking in the garage for different plugs and all i could find was that servo plug. yours looks more robust.

Its lookin ace Zouz. Those wheels are SWEEEEEET !!! How much are they? Would like some of them. Ive been thinkin about gettin some blue rear springs too. They are supposed to be "hard" arnt they? Are they not any harder than the stock ones ??
 
They are the SS. The difference I could tell was the bottom part that screws into the shock body is made of metal, and i guess it used to be plastic. The blue springs are supposed to be the stiffer ones, but i can't tell much difference.
