And let's not discount the fact that they look good too.

Since your chassis has edges to positively locate the battery, I'd probably try this.

They have been around for decades, so their stuff looks at home in vintage cars.

The shock caps are leaking (the truck probably sat upside down in the box during transit) but otherwise it's in very good condition. I'm very happy with it so far. :D The bladders are probably dried out. Don't buy them separately, just buy two rebuild kits. They are cheap and the parts are good qua...

Blitzer Beetles are only temporarily out, shows due next month. They were in stock a couple weeks ago. I was looking at those today. I'm thinking about ordering the Beetle when they are back in stock to make a Stadium Blitzer. I can order a re-pop Stadium Blitzer body and decal set from our friends...

That reminds me. A guy at work was looking at new trucks and asked me what I thought about a Cummins engine.

I told him that I could only think of one major flaw, that they have a Dodge truck wrapped around them.

Got this one all wired up and painted. I had a HPI radio set sitting around, so I used it. And I mounted a Tekin Rebel esc on a Sabula Tech shelf.

Custom Works products are sold my multiple vendors, including Amain. Finding one that will ship to you shouldn't be hard.

But really we are just a bunch of weidos that like old toy cars :D Ha ha yup, we are a splinter of a minority group of weirdos! So whether every bit of alloy has to be mirror polished, you need your carbon fibre weave to be diagonal, or you like em grubby, we are all old men playing with toy cars. ...

Wheels are easy. JConcepts sells 2.2 wheels that are a direct fit and the correct offset.

Well, it certainly looks good in the photo. What paint color did you go with -- it looks very close to box-art color. Its Tamiya camel yellow, full can. Then backed in silver. Since the car is nowhere near original, I deviated some. The rollbar is gunmetal instead of black and I used less decals.

As I said in the favorites thread, I like getting cars (or partial cars) on ebay and building them back to something presentable. Over half of my cars started out as parts lots or heaps. They don't have to be perfect. But I get enjoyment by taking something that other people would call a pile of jun...

They can be damaged and not function.

Considering that Tamiya mostly used 27mhz am stuff, they are easy to find. Everybody's 27mhz am stuff interchanges.

I have seen some fm stuff as well but they seem to be much less common.

I kept it simple. The stripes and wing accents are gunmetal. For the main color I did a couple light coats of Spaz Stix color change and backed it in Tamiya blue and then silver. The car is definitely still blue but the Spaz Stix gives it a green and purple pearl look as it moves through the light. ...

No. If the weather looks sketchy, I bring the body inside between coats.

I snapped this picture in the sun. Given the blue backing, the purple is definitely more prominent than the green.
