    I got so excited I ordered a p40 kit to build. Now it’ll be a static model if I ever build it. LOL.

    Cleaned up the wraith and got the Light kit installed on the bronco this past weekend. Now I need to weight the axles on the TRX4. Pictures to come soon!

    So how do you all store you RC toys. I have a cabinet above my workbench buts it's running low on space. I don't like flat spots in my foam so elevated by axles or skid plates is must. I've seen some retail display cases but that's not happening according to the boss. I need a wall mounted rack

    What up Casey! Are you going to citrus this weekend? I broke down and bought a scx10 ii Honcho, been upgrading it, this is a terribly addictive hobby! Do you ever go up to RRW Krawlzone? I was up there on Sunday, had a blast.

    Here’s some picture finally, since I’m a slacker. :bananadead:

    Finished the inner fenders, bed, re wiring of everything, and figured out a great way to mount the shell for quick release. I used the proline screw on body posts to keep the body on.

    427BAD11-AD91-4820-BCC1-E3F69392E471.jpg 8DE5FEA2-5CF2-4B07-BF33-EBC8ADBBC641.jpg 35483AD6-AA5F-4336-94A8-662731CF7343.jpg 253EF6C6-CDF0-4A1D-B0BA-33343C39FFA6.jpg

    Also got the #8035 light kit from traxxas in and installed on the bronco. Definitely gives off enough light for the scale appearance. Now I just need to figure out what’s next, other than finding scale accessories to place in the bed of the wraith.

    Trying on the wraith. Haha. The bronco is pretty much bone stock minus the aesthetics

    Does anyone here have a trx4 they broke and don't want or would like to sell cheap? I just want the axles for a custom build.
