I am at last back to work, albeit with a very different outset. My original plan was for the ultimate racing truck, but my budget wasn't allowing it. My new idea is for an E Firestorm with cheap yet functional mods with a handful of b4 bits and a dremel, which is what my first attempt was lacking. It will have to stay rear motor, but no biggie. One thing I hate about the truck is the cg, the shock towers are stupidly tall as these pics show against a dest210:

But nothing a bit of dremeling can't fix
I have already made some mods that I will post tomorrow. Feel free to post your opinions and suggestions.
