What chassis were you running?

Photon EX, switching back to BD7 for next race. How do you like the lexus body?

Thanks, I've heard of their spur gears, they came with my TCXX - Just too big for the FDRs I need in USGT or VTA

It's hard to see, but it is a flipflop paint.

Awesome wish I could paint like that

Not to knock JCarr's skills or anything, but it looks to me like it was done with just a can of Tamiya PS-46 and some stickers.

Spaz-stix also makes a bunch of color changing paint.

John,

They do make smaller sizes. Purchase from rsd or beamcat. I have some 76-79 spur from RW which is really good quality also.

Yeah, it's a single spray bomb job,

the color is testors galactic purple. I don't like to get too elaborate on a body I have never used before, just incase it doesn't hold up or handle well.

Most likely it's Indy RC on South Emerson. That's where you will find the likes of Indy Rc racer,(Brian Smith), Scott Black and Michael Jones (rockstar paint) running.

Jonesy run with us? Ha! He just walks into the party like he's walking onto a yacht!

The rest of us run every Friday starting at 7pm. Doors open at 3pm.

12th Scale, VTA and USGT run every week. 17.5 TC when Jonesy and his cronies show. (Cronies = Cody?)

I'm wondering why is the AE RC10R5.1 discontinued and the RC10R5 not!?
