Left work early today to sign for it, waited four hours. Left for twenty minutes to take my daughter to driving school, got back to see a sticker on the window. Went to the UPS hub, and waited for it.

And here it is:

RobMob already installed the RPM skidplate, and sent a set of Tony's Screws with it.

I'll be switching to EC5 connectors as soon as they come in the mail.

And many other mods to come as I can afford it. Stay tuned! :D
 
I hate you right now! :hehe: Congrats on the new beast, hopefully your esc won't go up in flames.
 
That looks familiar.

I'm glad it arrived safely.

IF it does, it'll be blood on your hands for jinxing it.

Not yet. All I have now is 2s batteries. I figured right now I'd buy 2s since I use those for racing too. Eventually I may grab a couple 3s for fun.

Lol, UPS is a pain in my ass, but yea, I got it. Thanks a ton for the great deal! :D
 
Beautiful truck Pete, can't wait to see more
 
Some quick teasers.

Planning on getting a new body, new TVPs, and I have some lights to put on it. I have a ton of other ideas too, but I need money first!

Yes! Got my EC5 connectors in today! Now comes the fun job of de-soldering the EC3s from everything I own, and soldering these on. I have to get these stupid red plugs off these Sky LiPos too.

Progress report.

Got two batteries switched over. Yea, that's it. The EC3's are much easier to drive the connectors in.

Tracking numbers tell me that my TCS order will arrive tomorrow, and the Amain order will arrive on Thursday. I won't get anything done tomorrow, I need to get an MRI, but Thursday I'll get back to soldering EC5 connectors. Friday night I would like to settle in and maybe tear into the Flux, and switch things over.

Sure you did! Right there where you said you didn't say it.

By the way, alien, those tires and wheels are totally awesome!
(Josh, notice I said awesome?) I can't beat them so I joined them. If I had NEVER mentioned it the word would have disappeared. :(
 
TVPs and HD drive gear came today!
