That car looks amazing considering what you started with Rick. What body are you going to run?

Thanks Gary a Viper. here is what it looks like right now, I need to order some tie rods. and I dont have the right wheels so I put a set of HPI's on it that I had on the bench. I like how the HPI's look though.

That's a nice example of an RC10...especially from a Losi guy.

thanks, theirs a big different in the two, I found even bid the Losi's are much easier to work on. at least for me. but I do like a nice RC10, and they have always made more aftermarket for them. seems like the RC10 is easier to make more personal. the Losi's are all pretty much the same.

I have the same body on mine. I just realized I don't have any pictures of it in it's current condition. Here's a pic of how I got it which you should appreciate being a Losi guy.

Thank you all for the complements. I didnt do much but give it a bath and scrub it real good. I got lucky it had some kind of tape on the front and rear of the chassis that protected it. and it took lot of peeling and elbow grease to get it off. it still has some scratches on it but its not to bad. its good enough for me. I am thinking of sanding it down and giveing it a good coat of clear. I am also working on another one but that one is a tub car getting anodized right now. then I have 2 DS's I am going to build up in custom colors.
