Too bad you can't get someone to machine some jelly bean slots in some modern B4 wheels.

Got a bit more done tonight including the all new trans. Can't remember the last time I saw a B4 with shiny CVDs. :)

Love it. You could buy my b4.2 and use the aluminum chassis, polished and anodized, to really set this build off more! ;)

Such a great concept, a point I've never thought of in my 15 year stint with the hobby. Car sure looks better in gold then it does in blue!

Thanks! The anno color difference between parts is hardly noticeable in person other than the 'on purpose' difference in shock bodies and o-ring caps. I hope to have this wrapped up this week with wheels/tires and electronics.

Bob,

Looks awesome! I have a brand new RCRD aluminum +8mm B4 chassis that would look killer on that car...

It is an older Trinity Epic 10.5 that is the light gold you see. I just removed the label from the can.
