check out all that RPM stuff, High Roller. Are you sponsored by them or what? haha Just joking, you're truck is looking good and your smart to buy the RPM stuff instead of buying stock shit and replacing it over and over again. From my experience RPM is some of the best stuff you can buy. Next you need the RPM wear/skid plates, i have them and recommend them highly
Got Some parts in the mail yesterday

B.Y.T Poll
I have been dicking with my exhaust all day and I can't decide on how I want my pipe.so I'll get your opinion.

I made this exhaust out of the spare .15 head pipe I had and the pipe Craig sent me. I like It because it allows me to lower the body down more, but I will have to get an exhaust diverter thingy to get the raw fuel out of the truck. I don't like it because it will get the truck dirtier than the other pipe.


This is the pipe that came on the truck and it exits out the back and will keep the truck clean but it is real high and won't let me get the body down where I would like it.

So leave a comment and tell me which one you would run and why. or tell me what pipe I should buy or what pipe your gonna send me.

Wheel over haul
This is the stuff you will need to remove your tires from your rims, remove the chrome,and dye the wheels
I spent less than $20 on a 12 pack of beer and all the shit I need to do 2 sets of rims and have left overs for later projects
to remove the chrome get some LA's totaly awesome cleaner from the dollar store or get some oven cleaner. spray the wheels and wait, Remove the chrome it's kind of a bitch but it's worth it
spray and wait, scrub,scrub,scrub
once you have the chrome gone, to remove the tires from the rim boil the rims and tires for 15 min. and seperate
once separated put the dye into the boiling water and put the rims into the dye
While the rims are soaking go ahead and Tape the tires to keep them from "Knife edging" or growing and pulling from the rim and separating
out of the dye
once you have the desired color remove from the dye and rinse in cold water.
I took the foam inside the tires and cleaned them because the tire had separated from the rim and got a lot of dirt inside. After I got them out I mounted them on the rim and then mounted them on the truck.
The rims are traxxas on the front and HPI on the rear, There not exactly the same color but they are close. I think that is from being different manufacturer. They were harder to get the chrome off because these rims are pretty beat but they turned out ok
I still need to glue the tires to the rims,I'm waiting for everything to dry but I think they look good on the truck.
I plan on dying the Tmaxx wheels black when it show up in the mail(waiting on you craig) :) so don't steal my shit........
