I am confused asa hasn't replied about this car has he? I haven't seen anyone with a new ID here either, what's up?

I was thinking of putting a little bid on this car as I'd like a Gold tub RC10 and like the cut chassis look. Is he bidding, should I save my time?

I bet that one whistles down the straights! (on the way to an A-main win, of course.)

That's a very random drilling pattern!

What's up with the drilled out holes on the rear too? Needed a bigger screw to hold down the transmission?

Funny you should mention moon. With a nice set of killer moon rims, that chassis should hover, it would be so light. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
