    I got this rig from True a few months ago, it was in storage in the container from hell,
    when I got it we did a complete tear down and cleaning,I fixed a couple minor things, and we replaced all the screws we could with good hex screws, was not too bad, it went back together like a dream.
    the engine was a little dirty from sitting but it cleaned up real nice and has a ton of compression left in it, it started right up and runs well, all the diffs were repacked with thick grease all the bearings were cleaned and reoiled.
    I ordered a new body from the net, it is an HPI MT2 F 350 body for the nitro MT series. I really like how this paint job turned out...jason thought up the wing and fabbed up the mounts from an old Tamiya TL01 parts tree we had laying around.
    I also got some new wheels and tires while I was at it, the old tires were flatspotted and besides the terrain I run on is rough and it needed some better tires for traction, the wheels are Traxxas ,and the tires are Losi Smashers. ok here are a few pics , before and after.

    Thanks Guys, it was fun bringing the truck back into what it is now. I ran it once but the damn plug went away and I had no spare, but now it is all new and ready to bash. I just finished gluing the tires up yesterday , all I got left to do is install the Tiger Drive Starter and it is all done, I may get to it this weekend.....

    Well saturday at mikeys the megatech did not wanna run so i tore it back down and cleaned the engine and the 1 way bearing, and we took it over to check out the water park , they been doing some stuff over there work wise and the big hill is graded a little better so maybe a trip out bashin there is in order , but while i was there today we did a tank of fuel in the Gladiator , Jason was on the video camera I was driving.
    I think is still stuck in second gear but it ran excellent....
