I took pics and am working on getting them on here. In the meantime, I can email you pics if interested.

Professionally built? Does that mean you paid someone to build it for you?

Nope. 
I built it, but anyone that has raced with me knows that I build things the right way. I made the top 10 in 1/12th scale last year at the Cleveland US Indoor Champs, so I can somewhat drive and the car didn't ping-ping off the boards around the track. LOL!
To give some history, I purchased a new BMW Williams kit last year and raced that box-stock last summer in a F1 team series (my team finished first ). I then came across a car a guy had built but never raced and figured it would be good to have another car. So, I bought that one and that is what I put together for this summer. However, due to work and other circumstances (ie: weddings) I have only been able to hit the track twice. So, I figured someone else might as well get some use out of the car.
The only thing the car should have done is have the front upper and lower arms replaced. Since I wasn't going to race much, I ended up just taking the arms off of my old F201 car in order to preserve the new arms. I have plenty of spare arms plus a set of the reinforced lower arms.
