MIP 4WD Conversion - put your sunglasses on!

No matter how much I tell myself I'm out of this hobby - I seem to keep finding a way to build things.

Yes ... the chassis really is that bright. I stripped and anodized the chassis and shocks a bright orange. Installed a MIP Legends 4WD conversion kit on it. Then I fabricated some front wheel adapters to fit the aluminum sprint car wheels to the front pinned axles. Haven't quite decided on the body and paint scheme yet, but at least the chassis is done. I'm out of this hobby... I'm out of this hobby... I'm out of this hobby...

Alex, you are the Godfather of awesome R/C's. "Every time I thought I was out, they pull me back in."

I've thought I was done a bunch of times now. I've just come to accept that I'm a junkie and there is no 12 step program for R/C. :lol:

That 4wd is awesome. I'm curious to see what you top it off with. Hey, when you finally decide that you are done with R/C, you know who to email when you're ready to unload some of those gems. 8)

Finally got around to painting the body. I stuck with the RC10 body since I already had a few of them laying around.
