Bad Ass Car bro!

Ah man, my post didn't go up! Meh, try again.

So I decided to paint today. I was feeling pretty creative and did a 3 color scheme. Simple for some of you guys on here, but challenging for me. Took my time taping off each section as they were ready to be painted. The window masks helped out a lot, and I love this shell.

I am not doing a wing for this one. The way it looks now is the way I like it, nice and clean. Still looks a little naked. I need a set of Reedy decals to go on here.

So here are some shots after I was done putting decals on it.








I put the rulux wheels on to give a test ride, the other tires weren't glued yet. Car is too fast as it sits. Need to get the other tires glued on though, I like the cleaner look of them, and the offset is much better.

on the hot trick steering (blue chassis) what balls did you use? did you need to re tap the holes? and the rpm brace what number is that one?

[Toasted Coastie]

The RPM Centerlink is #70829. I used the Associated 4-40 ball joint kit (ASC6271). The Hot Trick steering set up does not come tapped, but the holes are right to tap them 4-40 without having to drill.

Nice build. The Parma Eagle body looks great on your car.

Nice job Mr. Toasted
The body looks great, nice clean paint job using the bodies lines and I like that you kept your color scheme. Body looks like it belongs on that chassis

thank you, where did you get the red screws?

there is a guy on ebay that sells red and blue kits, but I have been checking out fastener express on line lately, and have been trying to get him to sell me the RC10 kit in red instead of blue.

I think I will be selling this one as a roller (sans motor/esc). Having more fun bashing with the kids so I bought an e-firestorm.....

How strong was the chassis in the rear after you added the B4 motor guard? I am looking at cutting mine and adding an A&L motor guard, but am afraid it would bend easier if it slaps the track.
