42 total, in how long?

Technically, about 30 years. I still have my first hobby grade car. But I'd say that more than half of them have been in the last few years. I really stepped my game up during COVID.

Plus, very few of mine were kits. They were either rebuilds or built completely from parts.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

I might be able to get all (7) chassis done in a months time, but painting all these is another story, going to be a while.

Going to see if I can finish this one today.

Really like the old Tamiya kit presentation.

Would be easy to put the yellow wheels on the Lunch Box instead, at this point.

Got the Lunch Box chassis done today. It made me aware of things I had not done correctly on the Midnight Pumpkin, the shocks have a shorter-body pair that goes in the back.

Need to lengthen the ESC wires on the Lunch Box, and both of these need a Rx still. Getting closer to paint.
