I have emailed my reverse sponsor RCmart so let's see what they can do about it. Meanwhile ordered a replacement from eBay, my other reverse sponsor. Kit #2 considered done. Not gonna paint the grills as I am likely to botch the job.

Wanted an alternative color scheme for the red body. This is what I got from MCI.

KIT #2 in progress

I don't think the Sand Scorcher can do 45-50km/h. More like 1/2 that but to be verified by someone more expert than myself.

Here's mine just completed save for the numbers.

Installed the MCI replica stickered XLS body & wing to the kit

Installed MCI stickers

I think it's the Stampede version

Here's mine. Please excuse the paint job. I am only expert of 1 color paint scheme. I call this the red back paint scheme :

Start getting into the modern kits...

Quick run in the backyard

Quarantine over and I am a free man again. Went ahead with the build. Low humidity helps with the paint drying. Dyed some white wheels golden yellow
