Forgot to mention in my last post that I did add a front bumper (modified an Associated one) because I have a tendency to bump into things!

Status: offline 		I have been on pavement, gravel, and dirt and the thing grips pretty dang good on all of them. Obviously it grips better on pavement, but you have to expect that. And the thing jumps great. I was able to clear a 25 foot tabletop on the local BMX track. Keep the RPM's up because the front has a tendency to dive.

Status: offline 		the fuel tubing is to pressurize the fuel tank, not to DEpressurize the tank. it's long to keep the engine from running erratically.

it's a nice lookin truck, i still may have to snag one for a basher ST

Here is a link to an online conversion chart that will allow you to convert cubic centimeters to cubic inches and vice-versa. Kinda handy to have when looking at engine sizes since some companies use one measurement and other companies use the another.
