Even your suspension springs match the vehicle! Awesome work and detail.

That's awesome. Does the body have the roof air diffusers like the Evo IX had?
No, it doesn't have the roof air diffusers, and i don't think there's one on the Evo IX.

Haha, thanks. But only the front springs match, I use the stock springs at the rear.

Update- New set of Shielded Bearings and new set of rear tires.

Those new tires are 20 degrees rubber tires. (grip)
Btw, I though Xmodkid was talking about the roof scoop, sorry. Anyway, the evo X doesn't have the fins.

Hey I am wondering. Since your using that Atomic carbon fiber shaft, are you using the stock kyosho spur gears paired up with the shaft?

If so are you having any problems, such as the spur gear slipping on the end of the shaft, or are you paying attention to that?

The CF shaft i use already come with a pinion, they are great, doesn't have slipping so far.

That's the one I'm using.

I might, but not 100% sure, since I don't want to drill any holes or put glue on the body.

LOL - Nah, I'm not rich, I just don't like to spend much money on other stuff, I usually save up my money for the mini-z(s), I get $30 each month from my parent.

Update - Front mudflaps.

Those Ralliart stickers is not waterslide, I got them from the 1/63 scale Tomy display cars.

Update - the car is finally done (might add little more details to it later), i took some pics of the car with the stock rims and the white rally style rims, let me know which one looks better.








Outdoor pics later.

Agreed. It needs a little bit of different color and the different colored rims do nicely. I think a different color would look better than the bronze, but the bronze still look pretty good, too.

ok another thought, you get some paint that matches the car ( as exact a match as can be) for the wheels and you would have a mean Storm Trooper type theme going on...esp in photo #6...i know silly thought but thats just me

Thanks for all the comments guys, seems like everyone like to see some darker color rims on the evo, so I switch those white rims with the grey rims that comes with the AWD chassis, to me they looks much better.

I took off the front tow hook, to keep the front looks as clean as possible.

Those are the rims that comes with the AWD chassis, but I just painted them white. I think you can get them on ebay.


Outdoor pics!
