From the looks, this is the Mid with the carbon chassis? For some reason, I though the name was different. I have one, but I got it in a trade so didn't build it myself. It's been a shelf Queen it's whole life.

I love that paint job though, did you do it?

Thanks.... Luckily, the Turbo Rocky just got cleaned/polished this past winter. It still has the dull "running" body, I just haven't gotten around to getting a replacement for it. But the rest looks great now. It's one of the few cars I didn't buy new, but traded one of mine for. I really ...

Greetings, When I join bike sites, I have a prepared, amusing and totally fictional intro I usually post, but since this isn't a bike site.... So, where to begin...I started in RC while stationed in Japan in the lat 80's. We had a small track out behind the base hobby shop, and ran races once in a w...
