Getting there...
 

My Rusty got a face lift yesterday, thanks for taking care of me Mike! It still needs a bl system (next month....) but she is coming along!

Nice, Dicky!

get some rpm arms, or flm arms and bl and ur set!

looks good!

Yep, what e-maxx said.

Looks great. Keep us updated with any new parts and the brushless system when you get it.

Nice work & nice rusty. What chassis is that?

it's a stock "grey" chassis (xl-5), that I Jangified and dyed blue. arms will come when i break the stockers, they have been rather esiliant so far, mamba should fix that....

thanks for the compliments guys!

Forgot to mention, once you go brushless, you may want to make a plastic or aluminum skid plate behind the tranny case to keep dirt/rocks from hitting the motor. Believe me, it will get pretty banged up.

Yes, definately want a skid on the gearbox....

Although I doubt thats quite in keeping with the theme. One like this would probably be better:-
