Looks awesome! I have a brand new RCRD aluminum +8mm B4 chassis that would look killer on that car...
Nice! The one I had was in great shape until I ran it on an outdoor track without an undertray. :? Now you can see it, scratches and all, on the B4.2 I'm selling.

A little more progress. A bit retro with the body clips. Trying to decide which ESC I want to use and that should do it. Really leaning towards Orion for this one.

I'd look into the Speed Passion Reventon line of ESC's. They're very good and are made in the same factory as the orion products. Believe they've got them in silver, gold, and black as well. Check them out! I've used them for a few years now so if you've got any questions let me know!

I have a Reventon Pro that is new that I might give a try. Was curious to how much 'better' software I've heard the Orion has? :?:

Took it out for the maiden voyage this past weekend. All the details were finished up last minute so only a few practice laps were ran. Still had the slow version of software on the ESC. Turned 17 laps when the top was 20 so not too bad for a first timer. Hope to get quite a bit more time with this car as it is sooo much easier to turn than the vintage cars.
