I just love to see beautiful things be destroyed.
thats what I like also it would be easy to just build and paint a cool car then let it collect dust but to build it and have the chance it will be destroyed now thats a true hobbiest!
I am in the middle of building some Gas RC planes and I just know that even with all the money I have in them they will crash at one point but thats part of the fun!!

well here ya go, this is after 2 packs out back.
the wing broke after 5 minutes during an award winning cartwheel! i fixed it with longer screws and lotsa glue. i'm amazed the mirrors are still there, i expected them to blow off during the clear coat!

i bought some waterslide decal paper at the hobby shop. you just print on it with your computer printer, anything you want! it comes in clear or white, i used the clear stuff. the heavy clearcoat hides the edges of the decals so it looks like the graphics are printed directly on the body.

this one was a blank autoscale, the light covers, mirrors, windows and chassis clips are separate and need to be glued on (you get a tube of glue included). the wing is also separate which needs to be attached with the included screws. you also get the front body tab to mount on the (mini z) chassis.
the rear light covers are already tinted, i just needed to paint the back white so it was visible on the black.
