That is a good price for that car and if it tickles your fancy then definitely buy it. I don't think this car survived long on the market as brushless motors were in their infancy and normal brushed motors would overheat like crazy. A brushless motor system was what was needed to make this car run efficiently. For some, aftermarket hop ups are a turn off but for me I seek them out. The reason the carbon fiber chassis hop up was so popular was that the stock chassis was that bad. there were a few other manufacturers making hop ups for that vehicle. Aluminum dampers, knuckles, arms and wheels and a whole slew of other stuff makes this car collectable.

Bottom line is the one who spends the most wins it. If I can't be there to bid I use auctionsniper.com

Shodog started following PS42 Translucent Yellow
-
Sorry I didn’t save the cut off wheel well piece. I used gunmetal and it turned the bright yellow into this brownish puke color. Many have seen my red gun metal Porsche. That color it beautiful and I would recommend it to anyone. On my slash I used Translucent green backed with metallic gold I liked how it came out but man that farm king above looks fantastic. I think any of the translucent colors would look electric when backed with that chrome paint. I would love to try those combos but I don’t see that brand of paint being sold in the states and shipping an aerosol internationally might be an issue.

I've used Trans yellow backed with gunmetal looks kinda gross. Not a fan

I made that post above quite a few moons ago. This is how my fast attack turned out. Along the way I picked up a new built FAV so this restored one became my runner. Built pretty much stock with a Wild One suspension and thorp differential. My wild one project stalled out once I got the new build done. I'm going to go a different direction and go FAV wild one hybrid using a set of Tecnacraft wheels

CC01, CC02, CR01 or the wildcard hi lift Tundra?
Shodog replied to Nwc100's topic in General discussions
I can only speak to the CC-01 and high lift. Both are great trail runners but unfortunately their limitations really show when it comes to crawling. CC-01 has limited suspension travel just like its 1:1 counterpart so you can’t take it into too crazy of terrain without fear of rolling it and boogering up your paint job. My high lift with MFC-02 is my go to runner when I am showing off something R/C to someone. It’s a complex build and customizable. There are four link kits that improve articulation but fo me running with a soft two leaf suspension has been good enough for the light stuff I run it on. somthing with a hard body is going to keep you occupied over the winter -
I fabricate and build Satellites.

Much better color for that gulf body.

I was wondering what the black part was and realized my wheels came built with it already installed

My first Tamiya was a frog bought for me on my 13th birthday. Below are some vintage 80’s pics of it. As you can see I was in love with the super champ. I made that rear cage out of arc welding rod and the wing made from sheet metal.

It’s not too hard to get a good even coat with a rattle can. However before screwing up an expensive 934 body I practiced the paint combo on a cheaper HPI body.
