I've already been trying to get the wife on board with the idea. I still got a good 6 months of convincing. LOL

I mounted the front and rear body post and hung the body. I still need to install a set of side posts. Now that I know exactly where the body will sit, I was able to finishing trimming it up. I reshaped all four wheel well openings and shortened up the hood. I think it looks a little better. It can be a little difficult to get the larger Baja bodies to look right on the shorter wheel based Redcats. I cut of the sides of the bumper for a narrower look. I'll most likely get some light pods for it.

It's starting to look even better. Would like some vids when you get that beast in the sand

I gotta find some. LOL It will tear the crap out of a lawn.

I am going to pull the S900S out and replace it with a 5765. It doesn't want to turn with paddles on the front.

I was out breaking in the RCMK. I shut it down for awhile went to restart it and broke the pull starter. I'm a huge fan of the TR racing starters, but I though I'd give a Killer RC power starter a try. I swapped covers to an aluminum version. I I thought it might be cool to start it with out taking the body off. I will have to extend the drill unit to reach the motor from outside the body.

I love my Power Start. The 990 on my Prostock is as bad as a nitro for cold starts. Having the Power Start makes life MUCH BETTER! To extend the Power Start, one mod I've heard of drilling and tapping a nut driver that fits on the drill end of the power start and use a grub screw to hook them together.

I'm going to do something similar. Either a 5/16 or 8mm driver fits it. I'm going to weld it together. I don't want a wobble in it.

Time for some lights.

I like lights. Just something more to play with.

For the front, the RPM light mounts work great on the bumper. I mounted them between the bumper and the brace. One on each side to hold 4 light pods.

For the rear I used a 5t led mound just shoe goo'd to an RPM bumper designed for the 5b. I modded the bumper to fit the rear of the cat.

The lights are controlled by my 4th channel with a Killer RC light controller.

This pic was taken with low beams when on the bright setting the pic would not turn out. The lights blinded the camera.
