Ok the kid next door is 18..about the age that i was when I first got into RC..I told him come up with a paint job that is as mixed as the car's other colors..so we have ended up with what you see here..still some work to do but the miss matched theme continues..

I think it works! It kinda offsets the yellow wheels.

Looks good to me. Didn't those wheels come off a World's car. Seems like the one I had 40 forevers ago had those in the kit. :?:

Ok I think it's about done now..going to take it down to the park today and give it a run..I think Rick said it owed him over $200 in parts when he had it..I've spent about another $120 so it's been an expensive exercise..but it is almost all new..this car and it's parts have to one of the most travelled RC10's on this forum a true "Worlds car" anybody interested in taking it to the next level

Well I took it for a run around the park and it goes really well, and because I installed a hyperdrive belt drive system it hums along..but rides high in the front and seems to squat too low at the rear...

So I re-read Ricks original thread on the start of the build of this car. Somewhere along the way it got a bit off theme, so I've now put it right. It now has smaller front shocks to lower the nose down a bit and the rear shocks are on the higher most hole on the truck shock tower.Looks heaps better now I think...
