Welp, she's done. I went with a 2 tone, pearl lime and pearl white. Kept the decals to a minimum for a clean look. Even had to sneak in a pic with it's brother šŸ˜‚.

Seriously, if any of you guys are looking for something different, and like building kits, I very highly recommend this one. The Mad Wagon has been out a while, but the Kit version just dropped this week. I got mine from Kyosho America. It has a lot of upgrades over the RTR, and is the most bashable rig I've seen from Kyosho.

Thanks! That's the van's shelf body. The other one looks terrible šŸ˜‚. I think I may get another body for the wagon too. I really like this one.

Man that turned out fantastic! Great job.
 
Waiting on parts and utilizing some leftover take off parts I had. Used one of the rear wing mount spacers? to raise the front body post. Purchased a yellow wing for a "pop color," (because pink and purple isn't enough lol) color contrast is funky and I find it funny. I'll rip it like this though just so bystanders could say "WTF is that thing?!"
Plan to mainly run it on-road on 4s, but I'm playing with the body height so I have the flexibility to run 6s and fit a pair of 3s 8200 Zeees in case I feel froggy. Did a test fit and it clears with less than a 1/4" to spare.

Did someone say purple? Ha ha.

I have my fingers crossed for you that itā€™s a zero turn. I love it much more than the tractor style ones.

Edit: how rude, I never said congratulations! I definitely wouldnā€™t want to mow what you have pictured with a push mower!

Sir, this build is nice. I love my TLR. I also run it on 4S, and two China Hobby 5200s fit in there well if you ever wanted to run 6S.

It runs fast with the 21T pinion on 4S, Max8 ESC, 2050 stock motor, and punch 3...man it runs good against my buddy Typhon 6S v5...all bashing, no racing for mine.

Keep us posted on the build (y)

I posted this for another user asking what size 3S batteries will fit for 6S I did a demo

Wow, nice stuff! Yesterday only ā€œworkā€ on a car was done by ā€œDaveā€ at the hobby shop dirt track, when I lost my right rear wheel out on the trackā€¦my Typhon 3s. I had just returned to try and get in another couple runs for the day, so my box was out in the jeep. Dave said bring it here, itā€™s quick work, all of my Sentonā€™s have had it happen. ARRMA must not put the the screws in tight enough. The stub axle was still attached to the wheel. The screw that holds it to drive shaft was still in the universal joint. Had to take the wheel off to put everything back together, but that was an easy fix!
Night prior to that I decided to look into what might be the issue on a mini-b I picked up used, with a diff issue. Probably should shim the diff, but the real issueā€¦the top shaft only has one bearing. The one that is supposed to support the tail end of the shaft is MIA. I thought that gear felt a little sloppy! But it was running and not too shabby either, except for the little shriek noises it made when you got on it hard. LOL.
Happy to report that my 30 yr old Rustler, my mini-t, my Typhon grom, and my Typhon 3s all came home from the track dirty but needing no repairs. Maybe itā€™s because the grandson had school and couldnā€™t come along.

I once ā€œcuredā€ a ceramic coating to some s10 small block Chevy shorty ā€œswapā€ headers in the ovenā€¦ My girl wasnā€™t as impressed as I was that they fitā€¦šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ¤£
