Wow you are really motivated lately!!!

This build has been in the works for a while. Glad to see you working on it again, I like it so far.

Yep, I can't match that! But in your defense, the work and resources going into this I could see why it would take a while...

PA posse........you don't see that thrown around here much

alright, it's a roller.

still needs some work obviously, but it's gettin' there. the battery box and antenna mount need a peroxide bath. jwscab is sending me some material to make a trans brace, and i have to cut some wing tubes. i already have a mirage ss body from jay that could get trimmed and painted whenever. then it's just a matter of buttoning up the electronics. oh, and i have to swap some hardware around when i get aluminum replacements.

ok, the cf material showed up today from joe, so i whipped up the trans brace. i'm not 100% sure it's supposed to be cf, but i don't have the greatest pics of this car. so it's just an educated guess going by other "cliff" cars from around the same time frame.

i also dug out the new reedy mod that's been hangin around for this build.

Moving along so fast! This is not like you, are you ok?

Sweet looking so far! BTW do you pull these mint Reedy motors out of your @$$? Where do you find so many gems? I hate you! jk

just trying to make some time for r/c lately.

this motor just showed up in the mail one day. i still don't think i know the whole story behind how it came about. reggie does.

i have to get them glued and wired up, but this will be the battery pack for it.
and adam (flipwilis11) hooked me up with a very nice novak 1. it doesn't work, but for this car it doesn't matter. just needs some new wires.

Straight up time machine.

That looks great! I need one of those motors for my Cliff Lett build but a yellow dot, or actually it doesn't matter i will make a yellow dot!!

Your not helping my case with Rod to sell me that new Torkzilla I need for Cutmans' Dominator

The motor is yours Reg, PM me your address. Just send me a nice looking (can be used) Reedy later. Would like a Sonic but any older Reedy will do! Mr, DOT or Sonic.

This car is actually supposed to have a gold dot mod, but you gotta take what you can get sometimes.

rewired the esc today. i was gonna install it, but the switch needs to be changed to the second version (the gray one). i was gonna let it go but i know it's wrong, and it's something that can be easily swapped (when i find one).
