Thanks man, It was well priced so I couldn't resist.
Now for that Caliber 3p..

That's the one I'm after too (3ps)

I think your right about release date ; mid '94 look good.

Here are a few updated photos. I am leaving the electronics off for now.

Top notch craftsmanship on display here!

Really nice work! I'm eager to see the finished project.

It seems almost wrong to ask but are you going to paint it ? I'm loving the Steam Punk flavour it has in bare metal .

that stuff is INSANE

I love it!

Again, very nice work - you are a master craftsman sir.

Every moment you've spent on this project shows in the results !

While I was installing the steering bell cranks I found the shims for the bottom of the bell crank bushing nuts to be a little bit out of wack. One shim being thicker than the other. I fixed this with some T.O.P. Racing 1mm thick aluminum shims for pan car rear axles. These parts are a bit hard to f...

Got those already!
I've seen pics when doing a Google image search that links back to RC10talk so I was thinking there might be members here that might have high res pics of their painted bodies before putting on the decals on that they wouldn't mind sharing with me!

Hey guys, was able to get the wheels and tires mounted up, came out pretty good, I didnt use any foams for the tires, the fronts fit ok, I think the bead on the schumacher fronts are just a tad to wide, as they seem to not sit exactly perfect, but for a display I can live with it. The rears fit grea...
