Widebody Nissan 350Z Drifter (RC18R Chassis)

[nascarkeith]

I'm rebuilding/sprucing up my RC18R Subaru Drifter for a build off on another forum so I though I would post up some pics over here as well.

Here is what I am starting with

Team Associated RC18R
Reedy 6100Kv Motor/ESC Combo
Spektrum Tx/Rx
Driven Productions Gear Cover, Steering Link, & Drift Tires
Hitec Servo

I modded the wheels and added a little lip.


I also added some blue to the chassis.



This is the body I will be using.


This is the design I'm going with on the body.

And this is how it looks after the first few colors are on.





here it is with the main body color on. Its pearl white backed with white.


Here is a pic of the body mods that are in the works.

I opened up some areas for vents that will eventually be screened in with some mesh material that I have. I'm thinking it is going to get an extra Subaru wing that I have instead of the one that comes with the body so it will look like this.

I got some 3 Racing aluminum dog bones and wheels/tires today. I've also made some progress on the body.

Its been pretty well finished for a few days but I was waiting until I got my video done to call it completely finished. The kiddos come back to school Tuesday so I will be doing lesson plans and grading papers in the afternoons so I finished up the video this weekend. Here is the link .
