Ding Ding, Winner...

AYK Radiant ?

Close, I was going to add the Pro bit.


Pan car
Direct drive with rear suspension

Yes, that was too easy

Here's an SRT in a bag.

All parts are new although the screws will slow me down as I haven't ordered any.




Jeff's kits/conversions are always well put together.

Why a gold chassis ? It's half CE half Team Car.. One of each would be much better than one mixed.

Tonight's progress.... Out of the three of these kits that I built this one is by far my favorite chassis kit. The fiberglass is fairly translucent and has a nice texture to it. 20241107_231622.jpg Unfortunately I didn't have the header card for the battery box as I ripped it apart when I pulled it ...

And here the transmission is mounted in the truck. The shiny CVD bones fit so I'm pretty happy about that. I left the heatsink things on as it seems like something that would have been an option back in the day, kinda Litesink-ish. I also decided on a different gear cover, it's a T3 cover which I'm ...
