I sprayed a set of Traxxas Twin Spokes (molded in off white nylon) for my Stampede with Pactra Window Tint Paint to give them a blacked out look earlier this year, should be possible with either the Pactra or Model Master window tint paint This is another set to show you how they looked before I painted them Here's how they came out And here's why I did it, I wanted the "Lord Vader" look to the truck

Hmmmm, it kinda does Zuk!

No kidding, it's like that here in Chicago too and FWD, RWD,AWD,FT 4WD, and PT 4WD doesn't matter in some cases either, it's just different ways of getting yourself into trouble if you don't have a clue about how to drive in the first place!

Funny you mentioning the wing windows, I had also been thinking about that the other night (just not too sure if it wasn't the glue thinking though ) I will take a closer look at the rear valence panel in comparison to the quarters too.

Good choice gasman, I've got a Stampede and love it!

beautiful, just beautiful!

Just going to be shaved, kustom facias from the kit, and a sever loss of altitude over Pegasus Torque Thrust look alikes running a 17"/23" Fr/Rr combo.

Very neat, love the widend pizza wheels too!

We get those days around here too, IIRC this was in less than one full day and it's not like my Jeep is running rubber bands for tires either

Real, look at the sag in the drive chain.

Guys when it comes to flooded basements and models.... Rubbermade is your friend! Trust me on this, even though most of my collection is in a storage area instead of a basement (or built and on display ), those have already paid for them selves to boot!!!!!!!! Just look at places like Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Meijer, and the like for sales on that type of product. Not only is it easier to keep things dry, , but they stack neatly and they work great if you are moving and need to transport things!

ok, let me get this straight.....he would "key" his freshly painted body and "touch it up" with the color of choice? I'd screw that up for sure

That sucks Ken, we got a good amount on the Dupage/Kane County boarder but luckily nothing like that at home. I was talking to somebody yesterday who lives in Bartlett and he watched some kids ride bikes through a flooded parking lot and one of them dumped their bike....when this kid went down he completely disappeared under the water He also ran across a full size van in about 3ft of water (literally half sunk!) BTW, do you still listen to The Loop?

Just got to start on it yesterday...and was hung over this morning from it

They're good trucks, but get the kit or ARTR instead of the RTR, the links on the RTR are extremely flexable! I just got the Losi Mini-Rock Crawler and it has been a pretty good little truck, but I may have stripped the stock plastic diff locker for the left rear at the SCRC comp today. Sounds like things are going good Gregg! All of mine are a little "growly" and the WK even has a little tick to it too.

Wow, kinda looks like a 70's street freak type machine!

I'd take a Buick, Olds, or Pontiac over another same era Chevy anyday!

Heheh, I wasted an evening on the Capones Vault flop.......

You going to be here all weekend or just on the vendor days during the show?

Not the first time I've heard that

More pics! First two are all three of my crawlers Had it out on some rocks today The crappy weather had me climbing the crawlers yesterday And yes, I drove it up there....and back down!

Hybrid electric more along the lines of the Green Goat rail road switcher than the Pious. I do like the cars styling, but still think the concept car looks better. When I heard that the production model wasn't going to look muhc like the concept, I was expecting it to look more like the Caliber for some weird reason

That thing is waaaaaaaay cool, but I don't dare buy it........my fleet is getting a little large for a truck that big
