Very nice work sir! (cheating included :wink: ), there's just something about a brand new factory powder coated chassis set 8)

And I especially like that motor :D , even if it's only temporary.

I had to look that one up. :?

The term "polyamorous" can refer to the nature of a relationship at some point in time or to a philosophy or relationship orientation (much like gender or sexual orientation). It is sometimes used as an umbrella term that covers various forms of multiple relationships; polyamorous arrangements are varied, reflecting the choices and philosophies of the individuals involved. :wink:

Blasphemy Performed!!! :lol: I thought that rather than cheat again and use some easy cutting fiberglass and then dying it black that I would use some real graphite.

:shock: It looked good before but just adding that strap really makes it look like a true replica.

Good job!

Don't feel bad about cutting up that chassis. I'm about to do the same thing with a Composite Craft RC10 Graphite Chassis. I need a shock tower that doesn't exist and I haven't been able to sell the chassis. May as well use it for something.

Looking good so far Reg!

Have you tried to get in contact with Tomohiro Hirai?

I'm sure he would be enthralled with your build! He may even be able to help you find the correct electronics!

Do you have a better picture/scan of the original car? I can't enlarge the one in your first post!

i saw them shortly after they were listed. i just couldn't bring myself to hit the b.i.n. pretty cheap for 2 sets, though.
