| description | Here's an update on my SRB/FAV mash-up I posted a few weeks ago. The body has been very carefully painted in gloss yellow and the cage in semi gloss black. I've added a RadShape alloy chassis and bumper and I've trial fitted where the saddle lipos will fit either side of the Yolanda's Racing seat. I've bought a Speed Passion stock brushless system - the esc will fit behind the seat and the mini receiver will sit with the steering servo upfront. I'll need to take a shaving off the motor can for it to fit in the gear-box. I bought a 10.5t, when perhaps a 13.5t would have been a better idea, although I have the option of fitting a slipper or a diff to give the gear train an easier time of it. You may notice that Yolanda, my test-driver has had a bit of a makeover too! The paint has been hardening for a week or so now and so I'm beginning to think about decals and detailing ... Thanks for looking ...

Fantastic looking project, if you have the bug finished woudt do yolanda do the first testrun!!
@ Stickerbod ... NO SHE DIDN'T! There's no truth in those rumours at all, that was an entirely different Yolanda Defries! ... Really, Andy you've got to stop having a go at Yo ...
Looking good Shay, didn't Yolande used to work in a Soho strip club before she came to 'work' for you
Thanks guys! I have plans for the wheels that may mean the yellow lettering would look wrong ... but we shall see. I may put a simple roof on the cockpit - it's missing the front bar at the moment, which may have lights fitted to it. Yolanda answered an ad I put in Autosport Magazine ...
Looks splendid. Very old school
Looking good Shay
Coming up a treat . A very nice way to use a broken super champ body . Great job .
I agree with 'SRB Bloke' the yellow tyre lettering would be the icing on the cake. Looking forward to seeing some action shots
Excellent work.
Looking good my friend, black rims and yellow tyre lettering would look amazing. Yol looks great, she'd get a job on my crew any day..
I am going to love this thing when its completed!! How cool would this look kicking up the sand!!
Very cool project! Will you fit a roof? And can you share where you found Yolanda?
Love the color you used on this one (also on the cars below). You made a good use of all the parts and it looks beautiful now. Excellent work.
@ Jeffy ... apart from the parts bought new, virtually everything on this chassis is a reject from another car - this is why I've decided this will be a runner ...
See Dr Frankenstein a beautiful beast can come together from different parts
Interesting project , that works
Thanks Skottoman- praise indeed coming from you ...
This is really great and creative! A FAV cage on an SRB?! Who knew! The center seat and driver are brilliant as well. Great machine you have here!
