update:
new basher body. it's a discontinued Pro-Line Baja body (revo3.3 size) that they only had out for a short period, and then they pulled them from everywhere due to not having licensing agreements with VW.
it's not finished yet, but gives a good idea what it'll look like. i still plan to paint a true-fire body too, but this just gets me bashing with a lid. the ford body has to go...
i'll be testing 5s2p a123 packs today with the MM. i'll try to get video, but my digital video camera has been acting up lately.
