Any updates? I'm dying to see the finished truck. I did a similar conversion to my Sportwerks Turmoil but I really like the D8 for it's durability. My Savage and Firestorm are the toughest trucks I've ever owned and I want to have a HPI buggy to add to the collection.

Little update , she is nearly done .
Just need to mount the body and paint it .

Got some black Kyosho MP9 wheels off ebay for 20 US that were being parted from a kit and i think they look great . Attached the emaxx rear skid plate as well , just need to make a simple mount for the RPM silver rear bumper.
Since there doesn't seem to be many dramas with the MMM V3 i decided to use my new MMM V2 .I have downloaded the latest V3 firmware into the V2 and the V3 case is on it's way from CC .
The R1 Pro will now reside in my speed record car .Man it's alot neater without having to run an external bec.

Hooked it all up and took it for a little spin , but i will wait for the V3 case to be fitted before i fully test it out.

That is one Bad(lands)-ass looking truck!

What wheels are those? I like 'em.

Looks awesome with the Hardcorr body on top.

Not a huge fan of the wheels, but maybe when the body is painted it will change the look. What are the plans for the color scheme?

nice! for the run throughs, you could line it with a permanent black marker. Brings out the seperation of colors and hides those bleeds too.

So, when can we see some vids? :)
