    Awesome!

    It'll be a lot easier to do a dark color too... im not happy with how my paint came out where i had to repaint some parts black that i forgot to mask; black/white is the ultimate contrast and shows every error

    I never thought of internal coil springs. And remove the external springs? Then put the shock oil back in to dampen the droop rate I presume.....

    Yup no external springs! I'm sure you can google it and get a good
    explanation on it. They actually call it "droop suspension".

    Cool. I actually have some special "droop shocks" that came on the front, no springs. Setup for competition crawling.

    And i joined rccrawler.com to research as well.

    Ok i took franks advice and got some internal springs ($5 shipped... damn its so much cheaper mod'ing a 1:24 vehicle! lol) to run full droop. Definitely got the look i was going for!!!

    I didnt get to test drive it because neither of my LiPo batteries would charge . Guess they're shot...

    But, this is sweet!
