Well I spent last night washing, tapeing and glueing a set of proline roadrages to a set of black hyper7 rims, they look great so I'm kinda hopeing that my off road tyres will wear out fast so i can get black wheels for off road too.
My new longer bolts arived this morning, I countersunk the battery tray, drilled the chassis and bolted it in with the standoffs, now its bolted it it feels very sturdy and it fits the battery so well I can lift one side of the buggy up just by lifting the battery, with no straps yet.
Some more Pics.
The finished and fitted battery tray.
Looking good with black rims & road rages.
But the red does clash a bit doesnt it.
I was thinking of something more like this. but with black wheels and black or purple springs, It loooks good to me (if you can force yourself not to just stare in open mouthed awe at the outstanding beauty of my first photo retouching job!)
