Plus , I already installed them! LOL! I move fast! Do you think it would be alright if I started my own post with a little better layout of my pics and mods?

Why not just just post the pics here Mostly, to layout pictures with better descriptions. Plus, I am not done yet and i would like to group everything together so it's easier to edit and keep track of! Also I got laid-off and have some free time on my hands to make it look pretty! lol! I do construction! It's just something than ran through my head while I was under my mom's Corvette changing her hydraulic clutch system. It was so frustrating, I had to think of something else. The thing rides like 5inches off the ground and even though all four corners were blocked up it was still a tight spot!

From what I've seen & heard from couple of friends, I'm convinced, I think the GRP is a great engine, regardless....

I think their awesome engines, I would recommend them to anyone!

I got the Mugen MBX6 body today, and actually got it to fit! I had to bring the side guards in a few more millimeters and shave the leading edge of the splash guard down about 1mm. Unfortunately, I misjudged the engine cut out and a I should have cut the sides along the edge of the mold instead of the cut-line. The good thing is that I got it to work and I at least know what I have to do for the next one. I also have a templet to work with for the front end cuts and the body post holes. I am going to go spray bomb this one white since it will only be a practice body!

Only I, could screw up an all white paint job! It was going good until I added the tint. Oh well, it's just a beater! The next one will be cut better. I never thought an 8.5 could look so skinny!

I don't know about others, but I really appreciate the model end of RC as well as racing end. That means I probably more drawn to someones creation than to the latest and greatest from a box. Not to say the latest and greatest is not cool, because it is. When I get more time to look over your stuff, I'll probably post more. I have been covered up with work. Its pretty bad when you can not even work on your own Either way, very nice job!!! Back to top Author Message Jonathan B.
