here you go.
don't worry, i will finish sand the bottom of the body to clean it up. I will probably have to open up the rear of the fender wells for clearance, either that or come up with a way of holding the body out so it doesn't tuck.
CA in the freeze. umm. never thought of that.
oh one more thing, when gluing the tires, don't use any kicker.

I'm in and Ofna deep end ! .... still have to decide on and order a servo but have the ofna car kit, mamba monster esc, 2650 kv motor, two 4S 40C batteries from Hobby King , all scheduled for delivery. Thanks for the suggestions Ritchie.
Brian S. , I hope you consider this setup as it is quickly becoming a spec. My hope is it doesn't get out of hand with mods because if we keep this within reason it won't be a money pit and also the speeds will be held in check for some closer racing.
Odds are this will just be for parking lot bashing.... BUT ....If this becomes a class somewhere I'd like to suggest a NASCAR format...no turn marshals ( except under "yellows" when anyone gets stuck or flipped over..... if you crash on your own ( get stuck or flipped ) you are *DONE* unless someone bumped you into crashing or rub someone the wrong way . Either way, Yellow flag ... RD calls it.... again Nascar style racing. Maybe even have a pace car For those that like "heads up" starts this should be a dream come true 
10 minute mains.... or a specified number of laps .... Quals will be races too to build points for positions to set the main grid. Tie breakers to be settled by a flip of the coin.... Anyway, just the start of an idea.
I should be sleeping.... guess I won't make it to Nora for practice
zzzzzzz

Yellow Flag!
So, whats the question? 
Yet another "Demented Note to Self"- If our "Highly Respected Master" is of the belief that H-30(@ Region 11 Championship) or TZII (@ ROAR Carpet Nats) would allow such an "Invaision of Heinious Largess", then seneility must be just around the "Next Corner"! Besides, as Jake suggests, these Cars should be regulated under NASCAR RuleZ!

NORA was kind enough to let us try our beasts on the carpet, we ran without compound and on the stock tires, over powering the track was easy enough but it was also pretty easy to stay in control. if these animals were able to get around NORA, I see no issue with a track such as FW.
I like Jakes ideas on the class structure. like my buddy Stan used to say, these are Radio Controlled Vehicles, emphasis on Control.
very easy to drive one of these. GET ONE.
