Early on Monday I received a BOX full of Bodies from INDYRC_RACER
that he has donated for a Cancer Benefit Exhibition race we're
having this Saturday.

You've all seen these bodies right here...and you saw how incredible they
look in pictures...but I have to tell you... PICTURES LIE!

These bodies look SOOOO Much more incredibly AWESOME in person, words
can not describe how fantastic these paint jobs are.

Brian - 1,000,000 THANKS from the bottom of my heart.



This is just a couple that I mounted on our cars ... so far -

My TWO Favorites...

The detail on the Green Cuda is outstanding - and the GOLD on the Camaro is one of THE BEST Golds I've ever seen...
INDYRC_RACER had sent me some used wheels and tires with the bodies, two sets were the WHITE 7 Spoke.

I decided to paint one set to match the GOLD/BLACK theme on the Camaro - I kinda like it~



Please Note: No VINTAGE BODIES were Harmed in the filming of these photos.

Note to self: Give Railroader the wheel tonight at Indy Slots...

Edit: I have to admit in practice that I DID give Railroad the wheel, but I helped him into the wall with my Micro RS4. We were both laughing about it after the night and no damage was done to either car.

Default Panther pink - close enough

used Tamiya 86033 cherry red turned out Panther (Pepto, Barbie, Mary Kay etc) Pink to me:......the only thing worse than driving a pink car will be getting beat by "The Pink Car"!

as long as you're "man" enough to driver a pink car, ain't nuthin' wrong with that

Not sure if you raced during the late 80's, but PINK was the HOT color a lot of fast pro drivers used

Worse case, at least you won't be loosing or confusing it with another car on the track

Lovin' the "Pepto" Pink 'Cuda. Nothing better than winning with a pink car.
