Where can you find the best deals on these? The local hobby shop deals in cars and trucks, but they want waaayyyy to much for these things. Everything here in ridgecrest is completely overpriced.

Here's the link to the wraps. My buddy Dan (founder and former owner of Blue Torch Fab)
did a great job.

They will look identical yet they each have their own name on their rc crawler.

I think they are going to be stoked!

Brian, I bet you and the boys are having a blast with the RCs.
Pretty cool with the WabFab on it too.

I will have to dig mine out that I bought fall of 2008 and play with it while I am on holiday leave.

Yep, lots of stuff to play with for sure. The rc crawlers will go to the shop for when they are there.

The bodies were bought clear, painted inside, and then Dan from BTF did the body wraps WabFab style.

You'd eat too much and probably aren't housebroken.
