    I've been bitten by the RC bug and bought a truck. I've started upgrading and painting already. I have some lights on the way and plan to paint it white like my truck.

    A bunch of my buddies wanted me to get into RC stuff. Not really my jam. But I found this beauty and snagged it. Bought it a modern battery and it GOES. Does some sweet wheelies.

    Question jow did you mount the head lights and tail lights? I've seen the Knights custom light buckets but can't find them already printed.

    I have been looking at that RC. But I really want a 2nd gen body, really a 2.5 gen to be honest. But I have no idea what to look into for RC trucks. I dont need another expensive hobby... or do I?

    I love how that thing looks. I want to get one so bad but I barely have time to run my racing RCs and my Maxx. But I'd love to have that Element just to mess around with and for the looks.

    So a set of 1.9 wheels caught my eye. What's needed to change it out? Tires I assume? Will a set of 4.2" tires fit? Anything else?

    Edit, also, do you run 3S batteries in yours? I thought I had a couple of spare drone batteries, but all of my 3S and below are small (1100mah) capacity. All of my big batteries are 4s. I guess I need to order some new lipos.

    I run these on mine and they are 4.19. They do rub so you may have to trim some
