Not much you can do about people copying them. It originally really burnt me up that someone copied some of my stuff, but now i am honestly flattered. When i started painting, i struggled with alot of the techniques. As time went on, i was able to put more of my real artwork, and designs on these bodies. With soo many talented painters out there, ya, i was a bit intimidated. But i went on, and did quite a few of my completely original designs. To see that people liked them soo much, that they re-created them, or had someone else duplicate them, was a confidence booster i didnt mind. Like i said though. I dont mind anyone copying them. I just want some sort of recognition is all. Ther person who painted those, did exactly that, and in a very respectful manner.
Anyway, on to the stuff i love the most. Yup, monster trucks. I bet you wont guess what i bought today!!! Another monster truck. With the 5B gone, i had to fill its spot. So i went up to DB's and brought home that monster jumbo giant savage. Ya, its pretty big. I did some research on em last night, and found they come with quite a few nice upgrades, that were SS upgrades on the previous savage. I really cant wait to see how fast this is with the hi-speed 3-speed tranny. So anyway, the body has its cooling hole, the body clip retainers in place, and the battery is charged. Shes ready for break-in!!!!

The side shot ( the new profile of this thing, is just MEAN!!!!)
While i was taking pics, i figured i'd snap a few with some racing treads on there. These are the SS dirt bonz tires, and wheels from my other SS. I never used them. Though i gotta say, they look great on this truck. But chrome aint my thing really.
I'll need to rummage thru my savage goods, and see what softer springs i have. These springs wouldnt be much use on the track. And i do plan to take it to the track, just to play around.  Im dyin to run it though. If it wasnt soo late right now, i'd be breaking it in.

Yeah Thermal I will recheck all those things before I fire it up again to make sure nothing loosened up on me and is compounding the situation, I also installed a check valve on the exhaust side to keep positive presure in the fuel tank, apparently there is a half tank lean issue with the Matrix, hence the check valve. The MGT on the other hand is running just fine, year 3 now and roughly 12 gallons of fuel through the stock engine and it still rips. If I run into any problems with the buggy I will be sure to stop by your place and drop it off so you can fix it
