Say it ain't so...GoMachV has a runner?! RC12i

Post by GoMachV »

With a bin full of used parts it seemed silly not to have a runner. Not modern, not old school- just whatever was kicking around. Topped with a TBG pantera body, I was thinking I was using racing red- it was bright red. Now she looks like a Ferrari. Great basher body now lol! Now if we would get some decent weather around here I can take it up to the dog track parking lot for some fun

That body post spacer is bugging the crap out of me but I won't run a batch of dye for just it.

So you finally solved you storage space problem... store the electronics IN the cars!

That should be a great car for you to run. I will use the pics as good base set up for mine. Electronics placement etc.

The body looks great, and ya... Storing the electronics in the car is a great idea. :lol:

The chassis is scarfed up and it's a late model with the "is" holes. The radio tray is cut badly for a servo. The front arms are three hole cut down to 2 hole and dyed to hide the evidence. The axle is an early hollow steel diff axle. It's a mutt...so I'm ok with running it! Lol

I want to get a 1/12 now just because of that body. Really love the way Panteras look.

Nice job on the car. It looks good for a mutt

Looks awesome, Jeff. I love the Pantera body...but you should've gone with a Shelby blue with white stripes theme. :) Growing up, a couple kids our age (not friends because they were spoiled brats), their father had a Pantera, painted pretty much like this...it always looked and sounded awesome driving by.
