The closest I have found off the shelf is Montana Gold in color code 6130 - Malachite. It is an acrylic graffiti paint available from art supply stores, although you can also get it from Amazon. The green wing shown is from the Javelin mint cage set. The paint itself is flat, which doesn't matter in...

Got a couple white case Ace servos. They aren't particularly strong or fast but damn that looks sweet. Nice! They look similar to the white Kyosho Perfex servos.... except they haven't faded over time! Agreed. As an added bonus, they likely have more torque and speed than an anemic Perfex servo as ...

^^^Poor driver... he seems to have to visualize the steering wheel.

I think the $459 realm is going to be the new pricing standard for kits moving forward.

Kits are creeping up a little in price I see...

This.
Must be made.

This project frustrates me. I was making great progress, and then life got really busy as usual. I feel that it won't get completed for some time. It is sort of a Traxxas SRT-ish Kyosho RT5/6 mongrel... Jeff's Rustler to SRT conversion chassis, white Traxxas 2wd plastics, and the shocks and hubs fro...
