Great project. I can't wait to see this one coming together. I wonder if anyone has some better pics from old rc car mags. I remember seeing this car in magazines quite a bit back then. Good luck with the build.

there's nothing wrong with the trans brace. the spot on it your seeing is just some water. :wink:

It's probably just the angle of the light reflection, or my monitor, but the trans brace looks like the color is more orange than red.

The servo saver came out nice. I haven't had such good results trying to dye those as they are a different type of material from the rest, did you have to leave it in a lot longer?

ya, it was in the dye like twice as long as the other parts. i should've let them in longer...... they're still a bit on the orange side.
