    How tall are those? It could be the big body I'm running on mine, but those look a good bit bigger than the swampers I've got.

    Would anyone be interested in a Futaba 4px? with carrying bag and rechargeable battery? You also get the Receiver and all the books plus the box it came in.
    MSRP:
    4px= $550 plus tax
    Racers edge bag = $20 plus tax
    Futaba Rechargeable battery = $50 plus tax

    Looking for $450 free shipping depending on where you live.

    I've decided that I dont like how my cars handle when they're too light. So I beefed up my lite a bit.

    Replaced one of the rear arm mounts.

    and swapped out the shorty servo for a full size. gonna shorten the wires tomorrow.

    and the finnisher body is a little heavier than the kit body too.
