Wheelophillia :D, or rimplaysia. Google Rimplaysia and check out what the first result is... too funny. Those wheels are super deluxe. I need a set. :D It's like the Sees directionals Horizon Hobby put on the 10T for their Andy's Ad... one day I was fine, then came... I need a set. :lol: Horizon 10...

I just have to ream the mounting holes. Congrats! Can't get a better boxart result, than an Andy's. Went with his RC10GT body recently, ...

The shape of the body doesn't make it easy to cut out. https://i.imgur.com/OebeHzA.jpg Used a little box to get behind the cuts. https://i.imgur.com/XTvPKMi.jpg Decent results for #1, learned what not to do on this one. https://i.imgur.com/L9T5uxM.jpg Getting the masking above the shock towers is no...

Speaking of personalized builds, one member on TC has built this beauty: https://i.ibb.co/dBTVcB9/IMG-3078.jpg I think the gold anno with the light blue color he selected looks amazing!
