So many Bigwigs! I feel like I am in a business executive meeting :P

At the same time, it is interesting seeing the different variants you are putting together. This one is particularly intriguing...

HI!... LOL! Ya I I just found two containers of BigWig parts I didn't know I had. Looks like there will be a BigWig #7 coming soon and a BigWig #8 runner. Going to go BL and LiPo on the runner. :)

HI!... Well started working in this one as well. I didn't paint the body, it came with another car but the body was new and painted very well. Just not my choice of colours. lol. Might do something similar, but with blue/white/orange. I added a few decals to it to make it look better for now.

HI!... I have updated the modded BigWig now. It now has :

- Hotshot aluminum driveshaft
- HPI 5 spoke white wheels
- Twister brushed motor
- After market aluminum shocks

I plan on making a "fake" 9.6 volt NiMh battery for it also. Currently painting another body for it as well.

HI!... Got some work done on BigWig #6 this weekend. Bought a driver figure and got him painted up and mounted in the body. Also got some BigWig decals applied to the body.
