Well.. Just know this.
You have 8.5" of ground clearance on your O.Sport so it can handle any wet sands at some beach without problems... Unlike this guy >



He got totally tow jammed.

That's nuts. I don't even like parking on grass.

I think the mudflaps craze is a love/hate kind of thing. I grew up in the 80's where mudflaps were on everything, so it's just not my cup of tea. I DO respect making things work that take a little customizing to make things right.

Oh man..! Those are sweet.
I use to be into R/C - way, way back in the day (RC10 - gold tub). Fun hobby.

What's under the bodies? RWD or AWD??


The hobby has come a Long way since then though, new Lipo batteries, speedcontrollers, motors, even the trans/receivers are so much more high tech AND expensive!... None of my old gear are compatible anymore. Damn it.

I have been into rc for about 20 years , the cars are both Tamiya TA02 chassis' 4x4 . I still have 2 RC-10 gold pans , along with 65 or so others .
Im really liking the the OS , the transmission kind of bugs me but I will get used to it , glad I got the SE with the paddle shifters , take off is better in sport mode

What!?
You saying you got a LED TV in your garage?

And, I thought I got my mancave decked out with a Stop-sign... You got the whole Stop-Light!

ha..
Really it depends on the height of the person. Could be knee killers for some.

I'm working on getting those lights working.
What I really want to do is Mod in some flames - for the nostrils! Install some butane flame throwers.

Got them thru amazon.
Curt 13079 Class 3 Receiver Hitch, makde in
I Just checked... they have them EVEN cheaper then when I got them, damn it!
$112 vs $125... (w/ free ship) Nice.

Make sure you get the Class 3 hitch, they are beefier than class I & II's
