Thanks!

I consider this my first "real" build. All my other vehicles have been rollers, or already converted, etc. This is the first one where I started with a pile of parts and picked out everything I wanted. Using lots of brand new parts and taking the time to shim up EVERYTHING properly was really an eye-opener to me. Never realized just how much slop and wear there was in my buggy until I rebuilt it and saw how it's supposed to feel!

What do you guys think will look better, the red accent washers, or I also have gold? I really like the gold, but my plan is to get a Tekin motor (maybe RX8 too?) eventually, so the red will match better.

EDIT: One more thing I've been considering. I plan to definitely use a DE Racing rear skid, and maybe one in the front (unless the IGT bumper mount comes back far enough). What about putting like 2 thin rails of plastic/Delrin running along the bottom length of the chassis to help protect from road rash? I'm not too worried about the ground clearance or having to raise the ride height a few mm. I thought about that chassis protector film also, but not sure about it.
