Wow that is nice!

Don't know much about larger scale electrics but the brushless system and lipos would seem like a smart move!!

Any ideas what the current top speed is??

I don't see a body pictured.. If you do not have a body, I would suggest getting one. Certainly doesn't have to be pretty, but a body does somewhat help protect your chassis from both flying debris and slight impacts. Plus, a body just looks cool. Wouldn't want to see your RC harmed by debris.

What are you major plans with this setup? I'd venture to guess drifting since you're using such a thick oil and hard suspension setup, but I'm not certain.

Lol, I do have a body. Uhm, I'm anti-drift with 1/10. I do touring, so I race at my LHS track on sundays.

Sorry for double.
@Donzii: The setup is great but maybe I should get foam tires for the asphalt b/c those don't grip well only until the nitros race. The nitro fuel makes the track really sticky ^^.

Anyways I got new knuckles all around. From 3Racing. Thetoyz.com







Sorry for fuzzy pics.
