Yes, bottom ones are stock for the Stingers, Optima, Optima Pro and Javelin.

Yes it does, I haven't seen this one yet but I believe it's a 360

Its a nail biter this month

Looks pretty good in the pics Derek, how did you go about doing the wing mount? I'm missing that too.

Last pic looks great! A nice silhouette of Michael Myers in the background would really set it off though. Needs to be real subtle. You know, where you only notice after you've taken in the car...

I have a new chassis design, this time on a Super Hotshot/Supershot. More of a Hot Trick theme this time, but not quite done yet. I want to be able to retain the iconic roll bar and I’ll add battery straps instead of the zip tie holes. Also need to tie the stock bumper into the chassis. Anyway, here...

Well I checked around and it seems there are only a few local hobby shops and those that deal in RC Cars are only TRAXXAS dealers, so I called amain hobbies and spent and hour and a half talking with a super helpful rep on all the elements that would be fitting for an entry level setup. Thanks for t...

That’s looking very nice
