OUR insane. Not just yours. Nice try.

Now it must be wet sanded with 600 grit and 2 more heavy coats of clear.

I have to say, those tiny brushes look the part of pure race. But i prefer the standard size. They last way longer and can rip just as hard. Our Brutus motor is proof of that.

This is what the paint job was based on. Only original box art pic i could find anywhere. I couldn't get all the original decals but its fairly close anyway.

Super Rad Homz. U have a BOTY contender i expect it to be entered before december. no exceptions!

Best tranny ever! First time i see one apart too! Wow

I just wish someone would tell us what would possess someone to find and delete 6000 plus posts. Did tamiyadan get robbed on a BOTM? Someone on here has to know.

No not days, WEEKS!!! Next to impossible.

Do you have a stash of Team Checkpoint stickers or did you have them made?

We had a small stash of vintage ones and old bloke gave us.

This build is so amazing. The way that tranny looks is killer. The coloring is perfect. The fact thats its NOT an rc10 (sorry brian). U make sure u get it entered in BOTM before december. Clear shot to win BOTY!

Exquisite build!

Thanks. Not sure on the motor, there is a K engraved on the can. I'll open it up at some stage and see if I can tell how many winds it's got.

If there is a K on the can than its a Killer more than likely. 14 turn.

See you in BOTY in December!
