Looks nice,what's the weight on it? My 5b is at 22lbs and that looks like it would be significantly lighter--Josh

No idea... the nitro TVPs and the Flux TVPs do not have the same design. You might want to try Kershaw Design's nitro extended 1/5th scale TVPs.

Man, it looks so much better with the right size tires on it (narrower in the front)!

Yeah, I'm surprised with the way it turned out and looks pretty good! Now for just a bigger motor! :)
