I just installed the bearings, threaded axles, and RPM Micro-T bumper (fits perfectly with the DT body tooSmile ) as well as buying the Ni-MH peak charger (don't want ot need the Li-Po as of yet.) and striping off the graphics stickers to let the candy red shine through. Some of that money is going to parts for the WK, Pede, Rusty, and Bandit too.
those things are cool, how do they handle?
OK stock, much better once you put bearings in themWink
What did the bearings and etc ya put on it cost ya?Big Grin
I have a clear MicroT body shell that I have been waiting to paint...any ideas for a scheme for it? I was planning to paint it for the heck of it, and then look for a person who needed one.

NOt as much as it could have, I bought them at work. IIRC the Axles and Bearings are $11.99 for each and the RPM bumper is $4.95. Pealing off the those ugly stickers was a freebieBig Grin

Whatever you paint it, I'd leave off the stickers that go on the side (same with the Baja body), those screw up the looks of that cany paint on all three different bodies if you ask me. Just make sure you sell it to somebody who's got a Micro-T or Baja, the M-DT is about 1/2" longer behind the ESC/Rx. The way the batery compartment looks, with a little creative Dremeling, uoi could actualy run 2 packs in it for longer run times if wired in paralell!
