I see you and sessiz already have some racing rubs on the bodies.
how are those bodies anyhow? they seem like they might get destroyed easily?

nice work by the way

The bodies are pretty tough man. They're like a thick ass plastic with the paint kinda plastered on. Think old school tonka truck plastic. :lol:

Nice job there cj. I'm digging the euros but I dunno about that grill. Paint might have been better.

Nice Ride CJ, maybe a clear coat would prevent racing rubs ????

Yeah, I'm just saying paint woulda've been better than the foil for that grill. I can see the corners coming up.

When you rub against concrete I don't think any amount of clear coat will help.

The Intercooler needs more work. Nices thing about using that Foil to do that if I don't like it I can just peal it off and try again.

Once the body is snaped on the chassis it feels like a brick. The sides of my body just touches the batteries and the major gap between the body and chassis it the rear end. They are definatly not model car plastic.

dragon really adds to it.
the body is long enough that the dragon breaks it up just enough.
looks cool.

just watched red dragon last night too so I'm lookin at the car like its a cannible

Red Dragon is no more it will become an ice dragon. So far it is Dupli-Color Import Avignon Blue. After the first of the year I'll try and finish it.
