Re: Javelin makeover
The driver figure cleaned up nicely considering the amount of brushed on paint that was on it.
I used some old brake fluid and a toothbrush to remove the old paint.

Fairly snug fit.
Not really any air can get past the ESC heat sink with the driver in place.

Re: Javelin makeover
Couple more pics with the cage
I still need to build an adapter to mount the new style wing and put some rubber on the wheels.

Re: Javelin makeover
New tires.
Original looking wing.
Just an antenna tube, a couple of body clips and a battery to take it for a spin.
I could add a bumper but I think it looks better without one.
