Finally finished off getting the stickers onto the shell and took it for a blitz on some suitable gravel on the local industrial estate…. Heres how she looked right before a covering of dirt!! 
My lad filmed the first outdoor run…. |

Glad you guys liked it, wasn’t sure how it would go down  Had a couple of RC cars in my teens and enjoyed spraying them up, ragging them about and tinkering with the mechanics….it was no different this time around, except now I’ve got a bigger budget  |

Yep that’s the one I use after LSA in Hove shutdown several years ago. The kit selection is kinda ok and also not that cheap compared to what you can get online. |

I must of spent an hour browsing while the owner chatted away building something behind a desk. |
