What paint scheme should I throw on Hera?
I'm thinking of trying to stick with the orange on black like Melons and the 36 Ford...
Maybe powder coated black, black panels with double orange rally strips going over the hood/roof... with orange seat belts.

i think hera would look really good atomic rust with silver touches on the lexan panels with matte black powdercoated tubework.

or just all silver. or murdered out. i dunno...

Oh, I do like the idea of white tubework! White is my fav color on the RC's. Murdered out is always awesome.

[badhoopty]

maybe a different design but yep.

white tubework really opens up a rig too.

im gonna get a couple wild wendys from matt hicks, was thinking a white and pink rig with little hotties driving would be neat.

I know a guy that's going to be offering new heads a lot cheaper... but in a while.

[badhoopty]

its not only the heads, wendy got a special body. his painting is what validates the cost.

make a mildly articulated driver with a bobblehead. ;)

[badhoopty]

looks kinda badass a little bigger. am i right?

im thinking xr width and voodoo u4 tires. pinch the front to allow it to sit low and still have room to turn. could always put it back to original form.

[badhoopty]

meh, to keep it low like that the tires rub against the sides. could just consider it a bumpstop and inner tire foam truer.

anyone know anything about clearance issues with the SuperShafty 40t gear for the Dinky GR7?
I saw this post and stated wondering...

[badhoopty]

might be the older cases werent hogged out for the bigger diameter gear.

i bought mine with the 40t and didnt need to do anything, but maybe rick clearanced mine too.

I wasn't sure if it has the height (OD) or the width.

[badhoopty]
