nice track car. just have to say you'll have to be careful with the flipping because DIY's chassis sits high and the li-ions also sit high. you might have problems with traction roll when using AWD.

i'd say that your car needs a much lower center of gravity to be a tracker
but if you're just gonna drive it, what you have is just right.

and no, skv, i don't think he's gonna coat his shelfers for risk that the tape is gonna leave residue, or worse, pull off paint, leave impressions from impact, etc.

how about some paint?

how about i copy M0DEL'S Subaru?





ok, so i'm not copying her subaru, that would be lame seeing as i don't have any pink nail polish to put on my rims (the old lady only has metallic blue and black) but i do like the gunmetal color, this is the exact same color as my racing stripes on the blazer

That is a sweet chassis!

Why don't you just make DK's Z and race with that? Gunmetal could sub for gray, then just do all the skirts and bumpers accordingly.

Tamiya? Pffft. Heresy. Duplicolor Touch Up spray paint and a blowdryer. Metallics are easy to lay on smooth w/ a little heat.
