Status: offline 		t last! i finally have one! in many ways its quite comparable to my Schumacher Mi2... CF chassis, lots of pink aluminium, oil shocks, full bearings, ball diffs and very tunable..

but somehow this is a lot more special

Status: offline 		i can use my Corolla WRC shell on it, it was made for the S (short chassis) which is 20mm shorter (Wheelbase) than standard, 237mm-257mm.

i always build the shocks first, only problem is, they are that short i need long nose pliers.. i can normally get away with standard pliers..

another order... http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=74002

Status: offline 		Those are very pretty shocks.. feel like the one I have on my WW-2... it is a little bit different than the current generation TRF shocks..

Still very good action, though.. I can tell you that!!
