It's here, it's big, I'm happy!
All I can say is "WOW this is going to be fun!!"
I couldn't get the pics to post directly here because the pop up said "not supported". My pics on my computer are stored as a KIF type so if any one knows anything that will help me to post here please point me in the right direction.
However I did get them to store on my gallery so please, PLEASE go to my gallery and check out my handy work. Color shift paint (teal-purple-orange), custom front bumper (lights to be added soon), custom wheelie bar (however I don't know if it will work with the jet pro pipe I'm going to order).
Let me know what you think, I'm quite happy with how it's comming along.

RE: It's here, it's big, I'm happy!
Yes, a week or two ago I found a boiler exaust vent in the shop that was going to be thrown away and it was made from stainless steel grate and it gave me the first idea of how I was going to build the brush guard. The rest of it is aluminum that I picked up at home depot. The whole thing weighs 18oz. Now I'm looking for mini mag flash lights or a bit smaller, I'll use the front 3/4",(lens, reflector assembly) to make 6 custom off road lights.
I'm also looking for a water-proof case, (about the size of a sun glass case) that I will put all the electronics in, rx,main switch,light switch,and light battery. Then I will toss the stock case and put the new one across the alluminum roll bar supports above the servos.

thank you, I just had an idea ........ how about a tupperware container for the electronics? They come in a bunch of sizes and shapes, water-proof, easy access, light weight, see through, I think it would be perfect.

Nice truck8000ft.... you need the 29 cc at 8000 Ft it might run like a 23 cc, you loose 3 % hp for every 1000 ft you climb in altitude above sea level.[&o]

The 29cc is in it, I ordered it that way from O,neill Bros. I'm also getting a ported WT-603 carb from Daves motors. Those two items plus the jet pro is about all I can do to get the max power without going to a full blown race motor. If it still lacks the snap off the line or just not enough hill climbing torque I'll just gear down a tooth or two, I'm not that much into speed.

Sounds like your on the right track ..........it will have 24% less hp than sea level ...5 hp=3.8 you should be fine
I read in a earlier post you had the 29cc being installed, thats what I ment it will run like a 23 cc with a pipe @ 8000ft
