mine was black, mine is in like 100 pieces, im completely redoing the entire truck, im missing like 12 screws and like 9 a restripped, the gear case is stripped, the shocktower is stripped, one othe tierods i broken, the front grill of the body is broken off, im sanding down the body as we speak to get all of the color off, then im gonna mold the front grill back on, i really wanna make it a flatbed so i might order a bunch of plastic sheets about 1/2 inch thick and cut out the whole rear of the body and make it a flatbed, then i would paint it a nice corvette yellow and put some clear coat on it, its gonna be awesome when its finished ill take pics tonight of all the crap, im also getting touring car shocks and hpi chrome wheels for it, and put some bf goodrich tires on it,

im using the stock ones right now, im looking for some hpi rally shocks on ebay or just hpi touring shocks, the shocks from the nitro cars would work really nice because they have more travel,
im gonna take pics in 1 hour of the body so far, ive done some mods to it and i have ideas!!

mounting different shocks is gonna be a challenge on the rear, the fronts will just go on without a problem but the rear shocks pop on like frekin tie rods, ill figure it out and i will post pics and explain

i also did a mod to my front diff, i locked it but i made it a little wider with jb weld so its harder to roll, it helps when going up hills because it wont roll back down wich is really good for trialing

It was a bit dirty but I just aired it off with the air compressor. Looks almost new now. I also have to charge the battery that came with it because my other batterys have deans.[&o]

heres the pics of the body work ive done, i shaved off all of the little bumps that are supposed to look like bolts, its very smooth now, since real hummer dont have all those little bolts i shaved them all off, ive also started to cut out the rear end top to make it a flatbed, i should have it cut off completely in the next few hours,

Its so much fun but I can only use the battery that came with it. I wish I had some Deans connectors right now.[:@][:'(][&o]
