Well, I wish I had a better memory. I should start writing down hardware part numbers in these builds. Sorry, I could be more helpful.

just scored some gold 5 spoke LOHAS wheels for this build

they will almost make this build perfect...now I got to spend some money and get that John Player Special paint job

That's no problem. I went ahead and picked up two packages of the 3mm size. They look to fit pretty well, so I should be good now. Thanks for your help!

That's great you scored a set of the Lohas 5 spoke style wheels! My set of the Lohas Hurricane style wheels arrived a couple days ago, so I'm excited too!

I couldn't resist getting a photo of the rims just hanging on the car, so here's a teaser photo. I ordered some bearings for them and I got to get some tires as well. I will get a decent photo once I got everything. Of course I need a black body with gold stiping too

Good God that ought to be on the shelf Looks great!

Those poor rims are neked!

gonna look even better soon

Reg, you know I cant drive work a lick, but I like looking good trying I plan on only running this on a track once I get it complete to minimize the ware. I think I will go with one of my original ideas and try and do a John Player Special paint scheme on a Turbo Mirage body if I can find one. What would be awesome is if someone would just donate that body with the paint scheme already on it.

For craps and giggles, this is for Reggie. There, it's on a shelf

And the collection grows... Damn!

Thumb, if I didn't have 2 projects on the go I probably would have tires for this already and a body in progress. You cant even tell by the photo that this can has not receiver, I had to use it in another build Everyone here knows how that goes though. If only I had an extra grande to spend on modern electronics for all my builds

I wish I had it in me to stop and complete every build before buying another one. I already have my next RC picked out though

Look, the next time you and Shannon (spelling?) come down- bring this one

I was going to bring it last time, but one of the battery plugs keeps coming unsoldered. Any suggestions?

Next time I will bring it though.

That made me laugh.

BTW - I hope that you don't mind but I am copying about everything from this build but how good it looks!!
I am jealous of the gold atlas parts and matching hardware. I am not usually a gold fan but this came out great and I've been checking in on this thread periodically over the last year. And yes 'periodically' means before ordering more parts
