Nice "color swap" on the allows axles. I went with the black axles, but noontime the silver servo mints on both axles...with black Futaba servos.

LOL I've thought about it myself, have the machine, not the desire. Keeping my RC projects in check.

Do like the effort put forth by others, nice to see the work.

Yeah, little lazy when it comes to my hobbies too. I don’t have the machine though. Only a basic mig and stick machine.

Started dash piece and painted chassis. I used a stainless flek paint on it to try and get close to the Vanquish Gray.

Also excited to try it the team garage hack trans, I built a try for a buddy awhile back with this trans and he seems to really like it.
I'm pretty happy with the build so far

Coming along,


Fuel cell and gel cell batteries mounted, a little body paint.

Also made some ultra thin rear inter fenders from alum. Put a couple dimples in it.
