The multispoke model kit rims started of as a silver but ended up being resprayed black, the silver behind them is the XI model rim adapter plate which works like a dream!
There is a flush mounted exhaust can which despite being a little ricey I am rather fond of
For this project I experimented with a new triple thick clear coat, i.e. 1 coat = 3 coats of regular, it came out rather nice but taking photo's proved rather difficult.



Chassis:

Custom painted sleeper chassis, most stock parts painted black.
AWD
Aoshima Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires with model rims (XI adapter plates)
Mini-Z MR-01 ESC - cunningly hidden so at first glance it looks like an Evo ESC....
Mini-Z servo w/ metal gear
Team Redmade Drift Motor 42T Armature w/ Neo Mags in stage 1 can
Custom red lug nuts


^ That's my Team RedMade 42T pattern wound Drift Motor, it really rocks, with the right gear setting it has a decent top end speed but if I swap out the rims for the drift tires then this thing is sick!


^ The screws in the front clip are what keep the front of the shell firmly attached to the chassis, this is based on the model body mounting tutorial from Bondo


^ Now that's what I call a fart can!!
