I just about have my Forza runnin like a top. First I put in the single speed tranny and 16 tooth clutch bell. That made life easier without having to mess with the 2 speed all the time. I just put an HPI clutch, after market air filter, fuel filter, tuned aluminum pipe and header on it. Now that made the thing run like a raped ape [:D]! I have a set of the aluminum upgraded shocks for it, I will put those on shortly. Have a new clear body, just waiting on the internal graphics from XXX Main so I can give it a fresh paint job. Only probelm now is my exceed receiver took a dump on me [:@]. Always something, get one thing working and another thing breaks. I ordered the Futaba 2 PH from Tower, so I should have it up and running again shortly.

Got the paint done, however the color was kind of an accident. Never have painted an rc car before. I bought candy blue as one of my colors. I did not know candy blue was translucent. Well I sprayed it on there and well too late to turn back. Finished up with the blue streak for the top and I actually think it was a happy accident. I think it looks kinda cool. What do you guys think? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/krisandmary/rcpaint003.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/krisandmary/rcpaint004.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/krisandmary/rcpaint005.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/krisandmary/rcpaint008.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/krisandmary/rcpaint001.jpg

That looks amazing!! How long did it take to paint that? How much money have you added to the original car now? AB

Dang!! paint looks awesome!! I''m ordering some parts now lol Thank you for the links!

It took me probably about 6 hrs to paint it. I'm not sure how much I have put into it now. The only upgrades are what I have listed. I have spent plenty on the usual replacement parts after crashes and what not.
