Unfortunately, I didn't have time to lay down a nice paint job before the Indiana comp so this is what I ended up with. Don't worry, I am working on some new bodies......after I get Austins finished

Im not set yet on the battery. I am trying a few different packs/sizes. The one I like so far actually mounts down in the chassis behind the transmission.
