you did more than you know, the Motor Radio speed control are all out of the RS4 MT. I put my LRP 10.5 brushless set up and my 3PM 2.4G radio in the MT.

I just put together the last Pumpkin I got from Gary, For my Son in Law hes is serving in the US Army he will be going to Iraq in April. so for his Birthday last week I built this truck RTR. so he can have some fun before he leaves. its all stock with manual speed control I did put in bearings, its pretty fast for stock, it has many coats of Ford Performance Yellow and Automotive clear. I love these things.

Devilbiss GTI its the same gun I paint real cars with. I love the hard plastic bodys. with the right primer you can use Automotive paint and they shine just like real cars.

My son is actually looking forward to the possibility of it this winter. *ugh*

*EDIT***(oops, my bad, I just saw the post date.. sorry)


Monster trucks are in their element in the rough stuff.

I love the paint!
