Racer or Replica

I just wanted to do a quick poll to see what people would do.

I have all the shapeways parts for a replica and getting a good start on the rare parts too, and I just ordered a bunch of race parts for the NIX build including extra arms, but I only have one chassis set.

I wanted to have a nice photo record of a replica build, but that got real slow when waiting on parts. While waiting, I got carried away and ordered the racing parts :? :D

Long story short, I don't have the money to complete either a replica build or a racer build, but a I'm a whole lot closer to having a complete racer at this point.

Having actually typed this all out, I think I will build the racer for this summer... the replica will take longer to get correct parts anyway :mrgreen:

Heck, might as well continue with the poll :lol:

I want to see your BK replica! Racer is cool also. As long as you are doing both at a later date. I would build the racer now and slowly pick at the parts for the bk build later IMO!

That was where I was planning on going Rod.

I'm fixing my B4 for the race tomorrow, then getting started on the NIX91 build.

I think I'm liking the runner so far, it's starting to fit in already
