Seeing as everyone else has been focusing their comments on the chassis (and rightly so), I figured I'd comment on the body. That's a great looking paint job!

If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.

wow what a clean build, I´m very impressed. And also professional picture quality. One of the nicest (if not the nicest) RC10 I have ever seen.

I like it because it's closer to done than most of the others.

Man, I was too stunned to notice before, but that chassis color is perfect and the countersink on that nose piece for the tubes is just outstanding! CREAM DREAM thru and thru! 8)

I added it to the short list of cars I'd pay more than $1500 to own. :wink:


P.S. I don't have $1500...
