Yes, I have a Sawback, SCX10, Wraith, 1 1/2 Redcat Everest 10's and a homemade pile of EVERYTHING. My Sawback is still my favorite. Goes where it shouldn't, never breaks and just looks cool bouncing around, rattling and clanging. All that metal sounds horrible bouncing off the rocks, but I love the realism.

I'd have to paint the chassis, silver, polished or whatever it is just doesn't do it for me.

Other than that, looks pretty decent.
Angle head die-grinder with a rolock pad will know the chrome down and expose the steel and copper clad. Self etching primer and then paint I cant stand the chrome either.

Not my car, but I wish it were. My builds consist of a CJ7 with a pre-corporate Pontiac engine and a 01 Monte with a different looking type of paint job lol. I started a build thread but I haven't updated it for a while.

Vattera was mentioned, I love my Ascender K5 Blazer so much (kit version) that I have the Ascender Bronco RTR coming in today. Definitely a rig worth looking into guys.......check out the Ascender section.
