This is a great shot. Could be a promo picture for Associated.

I have been meaning to post these updated pictures. I still have one more big change to make to this truck before I can call her complete. I keep putting it off, but hopefully not much longer.

Here are a few updated pictures in my new light box. I'm still trying to figure out the lighting.

I think this is a pretty cool picture. It shows the original RCCA 92' Drip body (from the cover, and the how to feature) alongside my original body, which I tried to paint like the magazine. I read those instructions, and stared at the pictures for hours. Obviously, I decided to change up the colors...

Getting close. I painted the body this weekend. The yellow is a metallic gold, and looks much nicer in person. I thought it was the best match to the box art cover, without using mustard yellow, lol. I painted it very close to box art design, however I added black shading on the center silver stripe...

Updated pictures of how the BK currently sits.

Here are a few updated photos. I am leaving the electronics off for now.

Built the shocks and added the blue hinge mounts.

^ Thanks all. This is the light box I have -https://www.amazon.com/Promaster-Still-Life-LED-Studio/dp/B07BX32GMJ Promaster Stil Life LED Studio 2.0. I got their largest version at 28"x28". After 6 months of use, here are my thoughts on this light box. Pros - Perfect lighting at the flip of...

^ Thanks! I am keeping my eyes out for that 4 disc kit. Progress continues into slider status. The BSW38 rear carbon tower and tires have arrived. I decided to use the BSW47 tires as their lower profile fits well with this build. I purchased a nice KNK stainless hardware set for this build, however ...

Pictures or it didn't happen.

I added the rear mud scrapers and shock guards. I have never seen these installed on another Inferno of this generation. That is why I didn't even realize what the pieces were without some help. I also cleaned up/straightened the linkage a little. Big surprise - The motor that came with the original...

^ Thanks Buddy! I use the Birchwood Super Blue quite often, and have had great results with it. My OCD makes it so I am very conscious of the hardware color, shape, and condition I use. It is easy to just use a Stainless Steel hardware kit, but that doesn't always look correct on vintage builds. Thi...

^ Thanks! I just missed out on a cool set of black vintage HPI wheels on ebay, but I will dig through my stash and see what I can find.

I added some shocks so its officially a slider I guess. I have a RPM rear guard that I think I am going to gringo up a little before I install it.

I did a little customizing to the RPM rear guard, and then mounted it up.
