I'm liking the paint. Could you tell what yellow you used? It looks to match the wheels very well.

Thanks! The paint is Createx Fluorescent Yellow #5405 backed with white. It is exactly the same color as the wheels.

Thanks! I'm trying to find decent original vintage parts for it as a side hobby. I have a JConcepts Detonator body that I would like to paint in Cliff Lett's Moo theme. I'd really like to pick up a few more Turbo Mirage bodies just to paint in vintage themes just for show. I could go on and on... :lol:

So I finally learned how to trim out a wing the right way. 8) I need to go over it with some scotch-brite to give it that dull (non-see-through) appearance. I also opted for the long whip antenna for a more vintage look.

Thanks man. No doubt you will. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this board, and they've got some great advice and building tips to share. I had my roadblocks with my build as well. Getting through them, and learning along the way is what makes it satisfying.

Not yet man. I had to wait until my vacation days at work were re-newed this January. Now that I have a few paid weeks off, the track I wanted to take it to just went from clay to carpet. There is another track a county over that is a fairly new indoor clay track, so I'm planning on heading over there to check it out. Thanks for the compliment.

Nice job with this build. We don't mind seeing action shots on carpet, bring'em on.

Thanks vintage AE. :D I start a new job on Monday, which is an advancement from my old job. It's on a 10-4 schedule with optional Fridays, so I will have more time for RC. 8) Can't wait to settle in, so I can get to the track.

I had the day off today, so I had time to take the World's car for a spin and take video of it. This is just out on the street in front of my house, but nonetheless it shows the speed of the Hobbywing XR10 17.5T combo, and the agile handling characteristics of the buggy.

The video was taken on my cell phone, so not the best quality.

Here's the video as promised:

Did you ever do ceramic bearings? What brand and how do you like them?

Sorry I haven't tried them. I have researched ceramic vs steel bearings, and I came up with that the majority who use them say that the minimal gains are not worth the extra cost.
