I am slowly bulding this truck up in hope to get it into a mag someday. It is a RC18t. I have posted pictures of it up before. I will get some updated pictures when some of the electronics arrive. I want to go brushless and I have a futaba 2.4 reciver on the way. One thing I will need is a very well painted body. Is there anyone that you would reccomend. Nothing too fancy. I was maybe thinking of my favorite sports team (Carolina Hurricanes) Here are a few pictures of the bulding process. By the way I suck at taking pictures so I will most likley get someone else to take the pictures that I am sending to the mag company's.   Here are some of the up's I have on it. 3 Racing Carbon Fiber Chassis, 3 Racing Shocks, MIP Shiny CVD'S, MIP Super Diff's, Carbide Diff Ball's, RPM A-Arms, RPM Shock Towers, Exotech Slipper Clutch with carbon drive shaft, GPM Wing Mount, Duratrax Wing, Titinaum Hinge Pins, HS65MG Servo, DP Drag Link. |

Here are some updated pics of my project truck. I will be getting titanium turnbuckles and some 1/10 scale wheels here soon. My motor is on the way a 8900kv brush-less. Custom RC BodySkins on here is painting me up a bad ass body. Any other recommendations.    |

Body and wheels (28mm jaco prisms 1/10) are on the way. I still have to get the motor and ESC and try to find a 3s lipo that will fit into the battery holder.

your truck looks sweet, a guy at one of the lhs took the ae aluminum kit and the exotek carbon kit and a screw kit and built a truck just to show people that you don't really need to buy the rtr kit lol. all he added from the ae kit was the turnbuckles cuz they had none in stock lol
