The ESC I found on Buyee arrived, so will hopefully get that fitted this weekend, and will be dropping the body off to my painter tomorrow as well, getting closer

ESC installed, and put the white wing on. The pink one is with my body painter so as he can match the paint.

Dont know if I pasted this, but the stack of header cards show how many parts I had to track down for this

Well, glad you didn't part it out!!! Looking good. That speedo is sweet!

EDIT: I'm glad it went to a "family member" who was able to take the resto across the finish line.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

I'm glad it went to good hands and kym has done a much better job restoring it than I could have.

My first attempt at making a “vintage” battery

Image

MCI Stickers, and white shrink wrap. Had to redo them once as I wasnt aware that the cardboard sleeve would just slide off, so I put the shrink wrap over it. Then it wouldn’t fit in the chassis. All sorted now, happy with how it looks, still need battery bars (in the post to me currently) to connect it all up
