Status: offline 		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 ! 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.

Status: offline 		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?

Status: offline 		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.
