Hi Guys,
A while ago I was trying to figure out what a certain old school car I had was. It turned out to be the Nikko Mascot. Well, the dish wheels and spiked tires I had just gotten for my B4.1 inspired me to do a body in the style of the old school "toy" that I would charge overnight, and get about 10 minutes of run time out of.

It turned out pretty good. Nice coat of black paint, then I designed the decals in illustrator and printed them on vinyl. It has already been on a run since the pics were taken, so this is no show body or shelf queen :)

Edit: added pic at end of original mascot

Thanks guys :)

Oh yeah it definitely runs a LOT better....it actually ran good enough to cause one of the rear wheel ball cups to crack in half. That was after a series of end over end flips. Simple fix though. Wish I would have had this one back in the day!
