Well, sort of... [hihi]











I also picked up Porsche and Ferrari bodys for it, but they have yet to be painted.
I'm stoked to try it out this weekend.

Do you attend UT, because I think I've seen your car around campus...???
Sadly I sold the roadster last January, but I drove it for about 2 years. Maybe you saw it back then? Although I don't attend UT, we do frequent pluckers quite often.... So I'd say it's quite possible you have, unless you just got to town. There arn't too many black/silver ///M roadsters in Austin I don't think. :D

Thanks BigD, all is well. Hope things are good on your end too. I've been workining like a madman, so not so much time to hit the boards anymore. I'll make sure to drop in from time to time. [cheers]

Ben, how are their prices compared to online(towerhobbies.com)? I'm thinking about getting a T-MAXX gas truck sometime this summer.

Not too much more pricey.... and the support is more than worth it IMO. [^]



OFF TOPIC: I tried some painting today... What do you think?

btw, I took it to the shop to get the car "tuned", and the guy wrecked it! Good thing it was the owner, and not only did he give me a brand new car, but he gave me about 400 bucks in upgrades. He personally "suped-up" the car right there. Said he added about a 1/2hp with the new exhaust, pipe, and air filter. What a good mishap! :cool:









I just painted this one... What do ya think? :)

Nice. Those 2 bodies look sweet. Good job on the paint. And congrats on the wreck.;)

About how big is the car? It's hard to tell in the pictures with only the floor as a reference.

Nice paint work. I love the look of the Porsche. Sometimes lady luck smiles down on us!
I must admit, I took graphic arts in collage. These first two cars were practice. I have some really cool ideas for the next one. [:)]

Right on Brother......those look outstanding. I bought an electric powered Audi TT for my son and he decided to take it to the local skate park and jump it off some ramps.........yeah, it did not hold up to good and yes I was somewhat pissed because that "toy" cost like 350 euro. Tom mentioned a TMAXX, I was looking at something like that for myself. Is it worth it?

That is wicked Spidey! I love those things. I want one too, but my wife has different plans.

Nice to see you around again. It's been a long while. Hope everything is going good your way. Don't be a stranger and stop by more often. Anyway, good to hear from you again....
