Yep, I can't match that! :wink: But in your defense, the work and resources going into this I could see why it would take a while...

alright, it's a roller. :mrgreen:

still needs some work obviously, but it's gettin' there. the battery box and antenna mount need a peroxide bath. jwscab is sending me some material to make a trans brace, and i have to cut some wing tubes. i already have a mirage ss body from jay that could get trimmed and painted whenever. then it's just a matter of buttoning up the electronics. oh, and i have to swap some hardware around when i get aluminum replacements.

ok, the cf material showed up today from joe, so i whipped up the trans brace. i'm not 100% sure it's supposed to be cf, but i don't have the greatest pics of this car. so it's just an educated guess going by other "cliff" cars from around the same time frame.

i also dug out the new reedy mod that's been hangin around for this build. :wink:

Sweet looking so far! BTW do you pull these mint Reedy motors out of your @$$? Where do you find so many gems? I hate you! :P :P :P :P jk

The motor is yours Reg, PM me your address. Just send me a nice looking (can be used) Reedy later. Would like a Sonic but any older Reedy will do! :wink: Mr, DOT or Sonic.

This car is actually supposed to have a gold dot mod, but you gotta take what you can get sometimes.

rewired the esc today. i was gonna install it, but the switch needs to be changed to the second version (the gray one). i was gonna let it go but i know it's wrong, and it's something that can be easily swapped (when i find one).
