Wow, very good so far, and realistic great job so far. But I find it kind of weird that you are using a 2wd chassis for a car that is AWD and an AWD chassis for a car that is FWD (Fit).

Thanks dreamingISdrifting, I'm only using this RWD for now, because I don't have the 98mm extension kit for the AWD chassis, once I get some of them, then I will mount the Lambo on the AWD chassis, but on the Fit, AWD for the Spec-D is optional.

I'll pay a few pretty pennies. Actually, it's not just pretty, it really shiny. Is that all it takes? Haha, J/K.

Dr., your detailing skill is scarily good. Nice Lambo!

Update: Start moving on to the rear bumper. I chopped off the old one, and going to build the SV bumper. So far, this is where I'm up to, still have a long way to go.




Left = hand build, Right = stock.


Both side finished.

Thanks Kyle, and yes those Li-Fe battery were released by Route 246 a while ago. Too bad I can't use it in race.

Thanks for the pic XMD!

Update: No this project is not dead, I mounted the body on an AWD now! Its AWD just like the 1:1 and since I have a SAS on my AWD, so I will have to trim up the engine bay to clear the suspension. Also the front lip is mounted to the chassis. The chassis is running on wide rims all around, 1.5W front/3.5W rear.

Very nice Dr K. Very high level of detail there. Looking good. Cant wait to see the completed car. Should be a work of art. Good job as always.

P.S. What are you using for front tires? Looking thick there? Kinda looks like either NASCAR or LeMans tires?

Thanks, took me few hours to make this one, the 2nd one for the other side should be easier.

Thanks Mike, I'm using Kyosho slick on front and Atomic A.W. Groove on the rear. I will post a pic of the front tire compare to the Le Mans tire tomorrow.
