Faskolor fluo yellow. The crap-brown area is faded with black and also fasglitter yellow before the brown is "layed" down... Someone hand me some toilet paper... LOL

Homer from TiltedRC.com stated on their forum that the 808 has arrived at RC America now. I hope thats true, and if it is, I bet it will be a couple more weeks till we get them in our hands.

Gluing the brakepads with Pro Weld type of steel epoxy is recommended. Holds up way better then CA.

My BoB radio box. The black foam has self adhesive glue on the backside. In the battery box bottom & lid 2 mm thick. On the battery box walls - 1 mm thick. In the RX box its 4 mm thick (the black foam). The white foam is 10 mm and its glued to the bottom of the box and RX lid. The excesive lenght Futaba swich harness is strapped away behind the switch and under the box cover. I had the foam stock laying around from buing scrap foam from an outlet store...

Niklas, looks nice. I think that Subaru is going to have issues with the Sirio STi logo, though.

Yeph, thats what I heard also - the Jap loyers are sending their troops to Sweden as they have noticed a vinyl decal on something resembling an Impreza... They are hooking up with the "suites" from UPS also as I stole their corporate color...

I might aswell turn myself in tomorrow morning...

I'm pretty sure saw something on Neobuggy last year about Subaru Technica International sending a letter to Sirio about their STi logo. It is a blatent rip off afterall. I own a Subaru though, so seeing an engine with STi on it is really cool to me!

Nice car Niklas, just remember its chocolate brown, not poop brown!

RC America has the kits, so we should have them here in Canada very soon as well then! I better get prepared to build.

Im guessing 1-2 weeks wait still with shipping to the hobby shops and then shipping to the customers. TiltedRC called me so that I could pay the rest, and said they expect them next Tuesday. IF I get it by next friday, Im going to be disappointed as I wont have time to assemble it and use it for a club points series race that I am participating it.
