That's not a squirrel! That's my Bubba!
Ok, I'm just being lazy and putting this off like most...... No, ALL of my other projects!
So here are the correct pictures!
These are some of the bits I have to work with! Narrow front wheels & tires, RCPS turnbuckles and such! Yes I know my arms are not correct or the rear bulk head, or the rear suspension mounts, or the shock towers are too thick. But that's what I have to use, and remember! It is a runner!
So it just needs to look the part! Right?

VintageAE, have you seen my white nuts? They should be in the box!

Is that one of Paul's chassis? The PC looks good

Yes, I got Paul to get two done for me, but it took two tries to get the colour right!

Yeah, that looks good! He sent me a color sample from the first attempt and it was not anywhere near as brilliant in color! Awesome

Oh Dude! That was like the best colour you did! That and the green, and the orange, and the yellow, and the white!

I need a little advice! I'm a little torn!
I know I said this would be a runner, and for the most part I would love to make it a runner! But.... It's looking so nice, I don't know if I can find the courage to run it! So I ask my RC10talk brothers, what I should do?
A) Build a fast runner with stronger non correct parts that sort of looks like a Cliff Lett truck?
B) Build a Cliff Lett shelf queen with as many correct parts as I can find?
c) Same as (B) but run it gently with lots of chassis tape?

My 2,
If you already have a 10T runner go with option B.
If you don't have a 10T runner go with option A.
Option C is always possible.
