Do you do your own paint?

That is badass! I am starting into offroad racing, but they aren't as pretty as the carpet racers!

Thanks guys. I actually don't race on carpet, I race asphalt exclusively.

A friend of mine here does the paint and he is as good as they come.

I have made a couple of setup changes with this car now, here are a couple of new pics.

Nice, I should just modd a RC like this instead of the S since this is prolly way cheaper.

It's cheaper but it certainly isn't cheap. My 1/10th scale car that I race cost me about $900 with good electronics, servo, tires, etc. This excludes the body which is another $22-$28.

My RCs are purpose built and I don't have a need for more than two luckily.
