LOVING the Olds build (LOTS!),but seeing those Axials in your workshop got me all excited (I have a Ridgecrest and SCX10 Jeep Rubicon) :D

Yeah, my modeling hobby kinda crashed into my RC hobby, and I've built quite a few scale RC crawlers or trail rigs.

front window wont let the body rest in place and is hitting the dash :unsure:

*edit, got it fixed I think by shaving the dash. That was a little tedious since it was assembled and painted.

Good to know about the dash! Do you have a pic of how much you shaved off it?

LOL,I feel ya! I raced nitros back in the late 90's,started getting back into RC a month ago,have the 2 crawlers (I run em on mtn bike trails mostly),a pair of budget offroaders for the pair of kids (ECX Boost buggy and Torment SCT) and I've just started racing again,electric SCT (Short Course Trucks for those that don't know) with a pair of Team Associated SC10's,a 4wd and 2wd....EASY to get hooked on the hobby (especially around tax refund season :P

 

That's all the hijacking I'll do,though,looking forward to seeing more of the Olds :D

Had to shave most of the lip off the front, and I raised the windshield as high as I could, I'm sure I had to do something wrong, I haven't seen anyone else have issue?
