That Parma speed controller is interesting. Looks like something they pulled from their Turbo series slot car speed controllers.

Ok, the Chenowith arrived today so I mounted it up, I'm thinking I like the look! Still going to have to update the front tires a bit, they are holding it back. I got a funco for my bolink, but it would not do this build any good. Also updated the turnbu kles to Thorp and the steering bellcranks to RPS (thanks y'ernat al)

Front t'buckles are barely hangin' on with those long arms aren't they?

Looking sweet, but how about some giant Parma wings front and rear?

I like the body without it

but I know where there's a spare front (or was a week ago)
I will short arm it very soon. I have a plan

Yeah without the wing and the right paint job and the Chenowth will definitely look slick.
That's just one of my favorite ad pics though....I get a laugh out of how the car looks like a rabbit.

I think that body is perfect! Add those wings and it'll look even better.
What about a servo access hole to really make it authentic?

Hole punch a black sticker, apply, enjoy! Authentic look without drilling.
