Well I don't know what it is about these trucks, this is my third now, I have had a bling one a tatty one and now a plain one going along the lines less is more.
I lowered it 10mm using spacers under the body this meant cutting some of the screen away to clear motor, I then machined the axle blocks down 3 mm to get the look I wanted. Its had four coats of Toyota 04 white and some small detailing, tried white wheels, silver wheels and now black, still not sure to go for the 108 diameter wheels as the standard ones look a little small. Running a Spektrum radio with cut down sticks for fast gear changes, Tamiya TEU 101BK esc which is not supposed to work with this set up but it does maybe its the Bec that will give out on it, 5000mah Lipo and standard motor, no locked diffs at the mo as it drives so nice as it is. So I really like this truck, drives nice lights look good, may go with the bigger wheels and satin black bumpers and fog lights.
Hope you like it.
