Finally got the body trimmed for this one. Would have been sooner but the first body had some noticeable defects in it, so I had to wait on a replacement (shout out to Amain!). Its a JConcepts Protector but I decided on a different wing. I think the Finnisher wing is a little too pretentious for a s...

That's pretty much what he looks like today...seriously!
He paints all my builds!...Thanks....waaaay too much work for me

Built a LS-II and a SRT. The LS-II was an LS, I had the parts to convert it. It also has Losi Shocks because I had them. I have some tires, but I need to get them off the old wheels.

I finally got the big custom 1/5 scale out for the first time this season. Haven't taken it out since last fall.

Not my Avante??? 😪 I will start with, the Avante looks flawless! I don't know if they came with Technigolds originally, but I do know how sought after they are, so that in itself is awesome! The rest of the car is stunning! :wink: I look at BOTMs, and I don't think I am alone here, as "what is...
