    Just change it to a link.

    Are those Hot Bodies shocks in the rear?

    Looks good, but the air filter could use a cleaning, unless it's an illusion?

    What oil did you fill the Hot Bodies with? I use 50wt in them, but I found, IMO, the stock springs they come with to be WAY to soft. Im upgrading to RC-Parts springs all around.

    yes i have the rc parts springs as well. those are the hb springs on the rear in that pic. for street riding i found the softer springs keep the rear tires on the ground and it handles alot better. a spot where i run ill switch tires back and forth for street or off road. if im gonna do some high jumps ill put the rc parts springs on. oh yea as far as weight 35-50 depends.

    Unless I am mistaken, you have fuel in the tank as well. I would drain that out before you store it.

    Other than that, looks good!
    Apparently my opinion differs from your opinion. However, you don't have to be mean about it.

    We're all anxious to know where you got that fuel tank and what you had to do to make it fit. Also, is it any bigger than the stock one (more fuel storage)??

    yes i have the rc parts springs as well. those are the hb springs on the rear in that pic.
    The rear shocks have the stock hot bodies springs, the fronts are the RC-Parts springs.

    lol. Thanks for letting us know what kinda tank it is.

    For people wanting to know how it's mounted and more stuff:
    you have to drill 3 holes and coutersink in the chassis to mount it. its about the same size as stock capacity but as you can see it has a sweet lid with a strong spring and oring seal. imo its a great upgrade. also you can slide it out to clean by just removing the 3 screws.
    Taken from a PM sent to me by money B.

    Its exactly the same size because I looked at an RC10GT on tower hobbies and it says it comes with a 75cc tank

    thanks drkdad i knew youd hook everyone up with the info so i now i dont have to type it again. as youve seen i dont have computer skills but im learning. as far as the capacity goes it comes with something that you can put in to reduce its capacity. i can only guess without it, it wont be race legal if that helps to determine the size. tonight ill fill the stock and refil it and see.

    Ha ha! Dont even get into cost, it gets a little scary when you add it all up. Im around $950 without gas, batteries, repairs, or the cost of the truck, starter battery, or charger. It's crazy!

    The engine could be the 2.5 with just a different cooling head, but the picture is on the wrong side for me to be able to tell.
