That driver is looking good! What paints did you use?
I'm assuming I'm getting this drivers head in the mail?

Got it all wired up and ran it arount in the house, I cut two holes in the chassis to run my lipo. man that really makes it kick. pulls wheelies on the carpet. those AJ tires have a lot more grip than the stock Tamiya ones I hope to take some picks out side tomorrow but their calling for rain.
I also started building another one from a few cheep parts lots I found on ebay I will post up some picture tomorrow
