Anyone else have one of these? As you can see I've made several changes already; lots of pinstriping, chrome wheels (better ones coming), softer springs and FrySky 2.4 receiver so it works w/ my Futaba that runs all my surface stuff.

Why can I upload a pic? It says no links permitted to noobs, but I'm just using the regular picture insert icon like everywhere else.

Hey guys!
The shock towers are the standard tcx shock towers(front direct fit, rear needs a very minimal modification on the upper holes). The lower arm mount blocks are Jet Racing blocks for TCX (Jet Racing CYL-112, 114, 182 etc.) I think the shocks are 67740 Cyclone TC shocks. I used 3racing sway bar set(for cyclone wce or tc maybe) and rear-end stiffener on the car.

Thank you for sharing my pic! And thanks for the compliment. I tried to get a more scale appearance by adding black pinstripe to simulate the body panels and I sourced some correct looking HPI wheels with simulated three spoke knock offs. To that I added my custom center caps made from hardware store metal plugs and some Testors decals for the Ford GT.
I also added softer springs because stocks are wayy too stiff. I've only got one pack through her so far but this weekend looks promising for more run time. Here's a collage pic that's shows the vehicle I modeled mine after and a few other angles of mine; could I ask someone to repost for me?

PS: can I also pander to anyone who reads this and appreciates my content to give me a like so I can post my own pics soon? Thx!

I've posted a video of my Ford GT including unboxing, my first run (and crash) plus details on how I made my custom wheel centers.
