That will look very nice when it is done. I would not be able to run it myself. Maybe if it had a lexan chassis protector?

[HummerMan]

Yes, I will have a chassis protector on it..

I would be too chicken to bash with it. Looks great btw.

It will be ran strictly in the street...

if you want to run it strictly on the street I would use 1/8 scale sedan foams they wont ballon and you get really good traction I use a set from Ofna, and here is a link to some on Ebay
