I will start with a 37/84 gearing. Both pinion and spur will be from the brand RW.
I'm missing a few small parts so I had nothing else to do than... do a painting
It's just a trial. I used one of the used body that came with the 12R5.2 and here is how it came out
used body, before:
after:
have you ever seen a matte pink pan car? here it is.. Cost: 1$ I can make three bodies with ease with one rattle can 
. I used a paint made for the roads markings and it helds up great on lexan. I had already tried it in offroad in rain/mud with no problem. Pink isn't the favourite colour of many drivers, but I love it!

we will race for the first time this week end in France having absolutely no experience
as usual it will be the adventure but we will see how it goes, here is the track
I'll share pics and vids
the funny thing is that we'll be racing in the 1/10 WGT class because we have no french licence, but it's just for fun!

back from the 1st race of the french championship in Loos (Northern France), and it was awesome!
we raced in 10.5 with no timing
it was the 2nd time I drove onroad and the 1st one for my girlfriend and it all went well
