Wow, that cleaned up really nice. Are those shock rod ends being used on the outboard steering links?

They're old Parma heim ends. I put them on the steering knuckles since those are the ball cups that usually pop off in a race.

Other than tires and rear wheels (which i hope to have by the end of the week), it's all ready to go. Took it for a couple rips up and down the street yesterday...... getting the steering trimmed out and checking the brakes. Chassis wise, it's setup the same as my kid's Worlds car. So it should work pretty well. 17.5 on blinky.
I wasn't sure exactly what i wanted to do about a body. I have a couple new Viper and Turbo Mirages i could use. But it just so happened that my OG Worlds car was sitting on the work bench with the body off and sitting alongside of it. My wife says..... ohhh, I like the colors on that. You should do one kinda like it for my car. Well, that body just became hers because I never liked it after I got done painting it.

I have to side with your wife. I kind of dig that body.

Steering and brakes are key words in this situation
Don´t You have a practice body for it - it´d be a shame to scracth up that fine purple one.

Really like that body!

What are these rod ends your using?

I do, but they're kinda fugly. The body itself is a bad reproduction, not an original or a rere. It's not that nice. Add to it that i don't like the paint job, she can trash it all she wants.

They're old Parma heavy duty heim ends. You can get the same thing from Dubro.

Thanks for the info and link on the rod ends!

I actually like that body a lot! Can I trade it against one of my beater bodies before your wife ru(i?)ns it?

I'm already keeping her from her blue car, now you want me to take back her body? I have to live with this woman, you know.......

I finally got tires and wheels for this thing so it's ready to go. Swapped the Futaba out for a Savox digital servo, and also cut the under tray cut out and installed. I was hoping to get to the track today but it didn't work out. Maybe next weekend if it rains (supposed to go to a car show on Sunday).

That looks awesome Jason!

Hey bud nice car, where did you get the clear undertray

One of our members makes them. If he feels like making more I'm sure he'll chime in.

Awesome, i hopes he chimes in too. I dont need one now but i will in a month ir so i will even buy more just for future too.
But on another note where did you get the green wheels? I got a green pair from proline and there a bright green. But on your car the dull green on front and back is bright green. I live the dull green look for 90’s cars. Thanks
