Everything is awsome, I think its great. Just move the second rear in. Maybe so there is only a small space between the two fender flares. I know its a lot of work to do after it has already been set up.

How did it do at Hobby Town the other day? yeah the paint scheme worked so good on my comp rig i decided i'd do it on this one to, especaly since i have no choice but to paint it on the outside. as far as it's performance goes it did great, i did have a few issues with the electronics at first but i got those straightened out with some help from Dave. i also broke a lower link near the end (thats what i get for making them out of brass) and it hardly made a difference other than not being able to turn very good. dispite that it still just rolles over the course. this thing is a beast
