I know it's a little early to tell, overspray film is still on, but is there a noticeable difference in the bumpers vs the hood grills?
Or did you use Alclad on the hood as well?

The guitar is just awesome

This car started in pretty bad shape and in need of a lot of TLC. My first thoughts were “Going to try and not spend stupid money rebuilding” but it turned into a 3½ year project. My build thread tells all the details. One of the contributors to the thread had said “u need to smell watchu shovel''n”...

Long time no post... Decided to stay closer to OEM and I am going to use the original black Kyosho springs. And although I really like the lime green body I did have a second body... This second body got a slightly smaller set of decals to try and help with the "see through" effect XLR8 su...

Tried a "hack" to get some dimension into a driver figure.
The body was stripped of it's original paint by using brake fluid. Original paint was water based.
The body is probably as old as the car, a RC12L.

Congrats Derek and David.

Older RC12L body from a purchase a while ago. Not really sure the manufacturer of the body.
Repainted with somewhat vintage theme.
The AE decals were original to the body, might need a few more though.

I really did not take any before pics but I did get a couple listing pics...



My first pics were after a brake fluid cleaning and some driver paint

Maybe an ECX product?

Another mini
Losi mini SCT with CF chassis.

Steering servo needed micro adjustments, servo arm kept popping out of steering rack when I got it.

Recently I replaced a few antennas for old Futaba radios. Never throwing out old parts, I stashed the broken antennas. I also saved several Tamiya connectors with mostly cut wires and the terminal still locked in the connector. I can get the terminals out but it always a PITA. Never bought a tool sp...

About 50 miles due west a large uncontained wildfire with the sunset backlighting the smoke.
High winds from the west were blowing ash as far as the house.

First off nice build. And I do really like the Custom special's look, the upgrade graphite chassis is really nice and no platinum shocks. You may be too far along or are satisfied with your repair but... When I built my front diff on my TOMSE I did use a new front housing. I could not find a bearing...

Over the last few days I've been resurrecting a few old and worn parts. Filing, sanding and polishing, polishing, polishing... More hours than I care to admit. My Litesink is the same one I used when I raced my Houge RC10 in the 80's-90's. Never really been happy with the way the Litesink turned out...
