I know, I wanted a color that doesn't happen. I was going to do silver, but it's too common a color, wanted something different - and since LS blue is about the best BMW color evAR, I picked it up. I think the color works with the car, they should have offered it.
I got a Traxxas Nitro 4-Tec about 5 or 6 years ago, and we never got it running. I took it out today, FINALLY, to get it fixed at my local hobby shop, and bought the body while I was there. It was around $30 including paint and tax. I also bought some racing slicks which were another $9.
