......are we " back to normal "yet .....? ( rhetorical question ). The more I'd tinker with the car/chassis I want to run, the more i'll have a tendency to do more damage than good.
-hey professor, incredible paint job ........you may have noted this before, are you spraying flat clear on the outside ?-greg.
Good luck everybody.

Thanks!!! Yes I spray matte clear on the outside. I’m happy with spazstix and Tamiya. I’ve got some new on the way to test out.

I wish I had used Tamiya rattle can on the Ferrari.. I wanted to do a Canary yellow.. so I went with Createx Auto Air Transparent.. what a nightmare.. had to start all over again and in the end.. it was more lemon yellow than Canary.. should have just used Tamiya rattle can

Hey Raman, leave no doubt, the yellow Ferrari out on the back straight or within the infield on what ever track you're navigating through, most definetly stands out. -greg. I'd hope to at minumum, to atleast practice with any of you one day. Keep-on paintin'

Here's a Tamyia 58607 Subaru Brz R&D done up in the spirit of USGT for our parking lot race group. Wanted something a little more visible than the stock blue scheme so I based it on a real car from a 86/BRZ racing series with more white on it. Had to improvise the scheme in a few places and there are so many mistakes but can't see most of them in photos or from a few feet away.

Nice RCP track. Isn't there an 86/BRZ body for the Mini Z now?

I have one of these for my USGT car also. Ran it on carpet. Expect a bucketload of steering with it. Also, watch the front splitter, it is fragile and likes to crack where it joins the grill.

I had it out once and it's already bending up a bit. Will add some extra reinforcement in that area. Thanks for the tip.
