RE: The Beater Builds Thread
Get the new triton EQ. Its basically like the triton jr. only it comes with a built in ac/dc power supply and it goes up to 6s.
This is not really a place to talk about your trades. Keep on topic.
60 is not bad for one of those proteks. I would get one if it were a 3s. I would just rather have a 3s. If i were in the market for a 2s though that would be the one i would get.

Finally got some decent pics of the body. I love it how you can see in the reflection of some pics the tires and stuff on the body. Like a mirror, it looks cool. LOL it will just get dirty soon and i wont be able to see that. I also put in some pics of my new body tools lol. Also I got some stickers from thetoyz.com and they have some cool ones on there that say "Keep On Truckin" I have one of the back but you cannot see it lol.

Can't go wrong with black right 
Im going to go by this motto throughout my slash build. Everything that can be black will be black. And everything that is going to be aluminum will be either the stock steel silver turnbuckles or red anodized.

Yep, those would be the ones. And wow, they really lowered the price on those! $59 is a great deal, I paid $90 per pack when I bought mine.

The shocks are nice, right now I have 32.5 weight shock oil and the stiff blue springs. They work really nice and run very smoothly, but I need foam shock sealers for the rear ones. I still haven't tested them with the car running, as I still don't have a motor or ESC.

RE: The Beater Builds Thread
I got a Novak Glitch Buster today and so far its working great!! I drove some today and my fingers pretty much froze off so i came back inside before i even drove out a pack lol. I also fixed my integy bulkhead so i put it back one. I will get pics of my truck soon. I think pictures explain things better and make the thread more interesting .

the capacitor does not make your truck faster though just to let you know. You just plug it into your receiver (i have it in channel 3 on mine cause my batt port is used by a fan) and it goes to work.

RE: The Beater Builds Thread
Well i have had this problem since i got my sidewinder. I thought it was my radio so i upgraded to the 3pm. Still was happening so i got a new battery (i went from a 6 cell nimh to a 2s) that stopped the problem. Then i got a 3s and it happens again. No matter which 3s it always happens. This Capacitor jus thelps keep it so that your receiver will still have power when the power dips from you punching the throttle.
