Tires well here are the differences from the AJ's vs Stock Tamiya tires

Well I havent add to thins in a little while because I painted the SS shell put a few decals on it just to see if I wanted to leave it alone or two tone it. and I went to bed to think on it. My cat jumped up on my table in the middle of the night a nocked it in the floor, scrached it up some already. Well I still am not sure about the plain red I wanted it more orange but th store didnt have anything close to what I wanted so I settled for this Mopar Candy apple Red?? its a little mono tone I think. and here are a few pic;s of th unfinished motor and the driver plate I built the pass needs his eyes painted. its hard to tell their helmets are gold metalflake. I cant find any plastic to build a Roll cage out of? but still looking. I bent up some Brass but it was so heavy I dont want to use it. I am going to build a fuel cell to cover the switch housing.

well my exhaust came in today so I started mocking it up but my motor is missing one of the exhaust mounts I have been working with Shapways on it. they seem very eager to make it right. but not sure about this exhaust or should I use the stinger.

Love the motor, I want to get another for my scorchers

I do to. its hard to belive Tamiya didnt put something their as detailed as eveything else is. Ive had another on on order seems like forever. they said their not comimng out right. as like mine missing parts's I guess. mines been ready for a week but didnt pass QA? its going on my Buggy Champ if it ever gets here and their talking about sending me another one to replace this one will see ?

[bearrickster]

Well I went ahead and finished up a few little things on here. I am just waiting on Shapways to decide on what their doing about my motor. the left pipe doesnt have any were to mount. it will have spark plug wires, but I didnt do them because they may replace my motor, so I am waitting.

Great looking build, I am sure shapeways will get you your parts soon. I will also contact them to see what's going on as well. They have always been great at fixing any issue I have had so I am sure they will take care of everything. If not please let me know.

Again great build and thanks for the support.

Well I was sitting their last night and the wife was watching something boring on the tv, so I went ahead wired up my engine. Funny thing is I was waitting to see what Shapeways was going to do about the missing exhaust mount. so I glued a aluminum tube to the motor cover to temp fix it. I was looking at the stock Tamiya whip ant. it was way to tall so I cut it down made a little flag out of some black tape. and just couldnt help my self the next thing I was doing was running spark plug wires. I got up this morning and got a Email from them saying they were sending me a new motor I will just have to redo it all when the new motor comes in. maybe?

[Toykid]

Nah, now you get to do another SRB glad to hear shapeways took care of you. Fantastic job of the wiring.

If you still think your red paint job is plain, you could always tape off the box art design, spray sometime rand then some white.

thanks I am very happy with it. I cant wait till I get some time to take it to the beach.

Well the Sand Scorcher got one more trick today. I couldnt decide on the sun roof open or closed so I hinged it. I had a few model airplane hinges from the plane I am building. so I put them on and it worked out great. just need to make a latch. and then I need to sand it down touch up a few spots and polish the whole thing and she's done.
