I had the shock bodies in purple as well but it just seemed like too much. Thoughts?

That´s a nice "dry" purple.
I´d say go with the purple shock bodies or some polished ones.
The black ones are almost invincible, and that´s a shame.

I like the color, but its almost too much in my opinion. I'd strip the nose brace and wing tubes.

Agreed on the tubes, but I had to see how it would look first.
I'll build up the other shocks and try em out....but it will be a shorty tower up front

It's got a ways to go. I need to look for a Parma trans brace I think

I had a couple extra motor plates and noses done, going to make a black hot trick shape chassis- I think it will be a real looker 8)

Mmm... grapey. I like it.

You know, purple is my wife's favorite color... if I show her this, you think she'd let me get a second one?

The ape hanger rear tower is kinda cool.

I think you should use the purple shock bodies and also dye the nylon purple too.






j/k, I don't mind it as it is, reminds me of a 90's magazine ad car. I agree with others that some polished alloy would set it off.
I was old school - when old school wasn't cool !

The tower is a copy of a MIP, the front I'm not sure but I'm thinking Trinity. How about the battery brace?

Battery brace is Composite Craft for 7 cells. Nice classic!
