Didn't have any clear left. That is the excess body trim. Replacing it with clear.

Man I can't get my s*** together. The 135 is on the mod chassis. A Futaba R122 on the stock chassis and 133 on the TC.

I haven't really run the mod that much. It is more for carpet. Having a problem finding any Carpet racing in town. Had it for sale and listed high so in otherwords" It is still sitting". Run the stock one quite a bit on asphalt going out now to run with some other guys with Micros and MiniZs. There are more stock ones out here than modded at the present time.

The Mod wins hands down IMHO. It can keep up with my stock XXX-S TC. The stock Micro is getting the most use and is the more fun at the moment.:)

It is mostly stock at the moment except for steering arm bearings instead of bushings. E-clips on hinge pins which is a must.
Short shock mod on front. (threaded bodies and Sorex 36s just arrived yesterday) 50 wt oil. Lunsford Ti turnbuckles.

P2K2 Pro
Novak Cyclone TC
Reedy R3K Blue:( and SMH:) 3000s
Hitec 5625MG Digital Servo
22-27 pinions
90t spur

Prewiring Pic. This is my first TC. Easy to Drive after years off and running 1/10-12 pan carpet cars. But first race next week with it. Hope they turn off the board magnets.:)

Thanks guys. No unfortunately for some unknown idiotic reason, I got rid of everything that couldn't be used on my Airplanes. So starting over again to race is really breaking the wallet. Trying to run Micros and TCs and build a decent spares box from scratch.(had the mod for sale for a short time but decided to keep it. Asking too much?) I will keep the eyes open out here for the purple shock. Did you try looking in the yellow pages for any anodizing shops.(custom car shops may be able to help here.) It could be $$ for just doing one piece however.

PS It will keep up on a tight track like they run at our LHS. Long straights and sweepers forget it.
