Thanks guys!

I just finished trimming the body but I still need to smooth out a few rough edges with sandpaper. I should have it painted sometime mid or end of this week when I have more free time to go out to the hobby store and get some paint.

Pretty slow. Probably 15-20mph with the stock motor. My other nitro cars will hit 40+ mph easily.

Looking good... once the bug has bitten you prepare for continuous upgrades... First thing I would recommend doing is getting a full set of ball bearings, a better motor, and a Tekin speed controller... your speed will increase about 160%... After that don't forget oil-dampened suspension, upgraded batteries, sticky tires, etc... the costs can get out of control pretty quick!

Paid about $140 shipped but it came with a ball bearing kit too (although it was missing 2 bearings but the seller is sending me new ones) I think these kits were something like $100 new when they were available.

No plans to really upgrade this. I'd rather play with my gas cars.
