Okay a couple 15 minutes later…

The Green Machine. ... You know you raced them

I really hope that they release powder coated chassis independent of kits as well.

That's some amazing paintwork!

If I remember right, he stopped coming here due to the critiquing of his style which is a super busy hodgepodge. He's immensely talented though, and there's been a few times I regrettably missed out on buying one of his bodies.

Agreed on the talent and skill. A contributing factor was the razzing received over asking for "donations" in addition to payment for services rendered. It was all kind of strange. Another RC10Talk mini-scandal.

I'm more excited about the gold shock shafts that are expected early Dec.

Just saw this today. Yuck

If you pause the video just after the clear car you can see the chrome wheels and green nose plate.

Associated is seein' green with the rere!

More use of the JJH funky front wheels. Nice!

It's not for me but I like it. There is now enough RC10 stuff around that people can get weird with it again. Chrome wheels, dyed plastics, cut down pieces and crazy paint.
Is anyone making aluminum rc10t steering knuckles?

B6 gearbox internals retrofits, 4wd kits, trailing arms ... bring on the weird stuff!!!

Any insights on why green was selected? It just seems very random. The shocks are gold in the latest image. Chassis looks anodized.
