Does he run it much? See he has the Savage fuel tank in it and Rush rear wheels and tries all around. Wonder if he has much problem with the half full problem with the Savage shelf fuel tank? Good looking truck!

A Savage tank is a shelf tank you would be able to see more if there was a picture from the other side. I am happy with my 100cc with a small block now if you ran a big block you would have to have it. I know from experience big blocks use fuel at a much faster rate!!!!!!!! One other thing is the half lean problem with the shelf tanks.

I guess if you have enough ingenuity you could build some way to cut the fuel flow to the engine off normally you set the failsafe where it puts the throttle back to idle and apply the brakes.

Yes if you have too much oil it could restrict the follow of air. I just put a little on the filter and work it in with my fingers you do not want it saturated. That it out put in a rag and squeeze it.

I hate chrome wheels! They look good to begin with but do not take long before they are all beat up with the chrome pealing. What tires do you have and what type of surface do you run on?

No black rims do not peel. When gluing tires to chrome wheels you have to get all the chrome off where the tires glue.

I run Pro Line Bow Ties.

They are very similar to the HPI Dirt Bonz but last a lot longer.

These look good as well.

for cutting holes in bodies I use a few different tools. Dremel with sanding barrel, body reamer, lexan curved scissors.

Got the body for the xmas present all together. Now I'm going to go and rebuild the diffs so I can get the truck together with the new wheels and snap some pics. I'm gonna have a hard time giving this body away!!!!
