This has been a challenge to put together. My photoshop skills are not at all what I needed to make this.

I assemembeled about 12 different pictures at different angles, sizes and resolutions to reassemble this guy.

From here lets see if I can make a high rez version that I can put on a chassis protector.

A little more cleanup

Getting the details on the racing numbers.
https://www.amainhobbies.com/protek-rc-3-race-car-numbers-blue-white-300-ptk-2203/p244753

These are discontinued and apparently not easy to find

based on the description
Each 1-1/2" wide X 1-7/8" tall sticker features a blue border, with a ProTek R/C logo at the top and a large black number over a white background that is easy to identify from a distance. The stickers are made from a tear resistant material that leaves no residue when removed

Between the dimensions and the images I can make something that looks reasonable.

Finally made it out to the track. The setup is still right for the track even though it’s been changed from 2016.

It hooks right up and steers like it should.
