Real one followed by unpainted RC.

I have another sticker set and the body is still available so I thought about painting this one. I made a push bar out of styrene but don't know where it has gone.

What body is that? The horizontal lines in the front grille are very weird. No 2nd-generation Charger had a grille that looked like that, and my Parma '69 Charger bodies don't have those lines. :?

It's the BoLink 69 Charger. A bit more of a 3d grill would have been nice.

Meh...I don't like that body at all. What happened to all the Charger's sexy Coke-bottle curves?? :?

Yesterday I finally took the General Lee out for it's first run! It is pretty quick for just a Tamiya Silver can motor running on a NI-MH pack. It is pretty much the only thing that I have that fits in the battery compartment.

I am pretty please with the gearing and handling seeing that this was a 4WD chassis converted to RWD only. Steering is pretty good as well and very responsive with these tires and I think my new driveway helped with that. :mrgreen:

Here's some pictures. I will upload the video soon. :wink:
