When the NovaFox was released I knew I had to get one, finally last month I did. No nickel pop cans to pay for this one.
The car went together super quickly. Before I started to put it together, I dug out my old Run DMC tapes, the same ones I was listening to when I got my first Fox. I wanted the total nostalgia experience when I built my new Fox and those tapes made it a lot of fun. I had a few different ideas for the body, from various different colors with box art decals to other liveries that I used back in the day and raced with, but ultimately I knew I had to paint it just like the original, black. At first I was torn that the new decals said NovaFox instead of just Fox, but that's fine, it distinguishes the cars. The wheels are gold (for now) as they were when I finished my first Fox. Take a look at the rear tire treads on the old Fox and you'll have an idea of how much wear and tear the original gold wheels took and why I eventually painted/shapied them black. I can't wait to take the NovaFox out for a drive! That's why I bought it. I wanted to experience my first real r/c car all over again. There are a few differences between the Fox and the NovaFox, but they are tiny. The NovaFox is 99% the same car as the original Fox. It's already put a huge smile on my face and I haven't even had it outside yet.
Special thanks to transamman908 for hooking me up with some of the decals to make the new car look more like the old one.
