Just ordered myself the ROP motor after seeing your video Adam. I love the purple 😍😍 and after having the SMP motor in my C10 it was a no brainer. I have the Ripper chassis from LGRP so think its going in to that build, just got to wait for the Super 8 billet rear axle to come into stock so i can start the build 👍🏻👍🏻.
