Metallic black Brat

The Brat is Back! earlier this year I completely trashed my box art Brat racing at the Sydney Vintage Meet.
Its now received a new body set, painted in Tamiya Metallic Black, with 3 coats of Gloss & a set of original Brat decals.
The mountain bike that used to reside in the tray, was too far gone after the racing it, so it's now been replaced by some mini bikes.
I don't know if i have the heart to race it again in the upcoming vintage meet as there is so much effort that goes into painting these shells.
So it may become the tow car for the new race car...................pics to follow soon.
Enjoy

cant you just run it with the trashed shell you raced with last time?

That is an option as the other shell is still under the bench, but I've already entered the hotshot, Wild one & rc10. I only raced 2 classes last time & it was quite full on getting ready each run, would have been nice to have some more time to talk to everyone since it was my first event.

Heres some pics of the evolution u could say of my Brat. Started out as Metallic blue with Bling, after I finally thrashed that I went box art. Now it's metallic black. I think the poor thing needs a rest!
Enjoy
