M-04 72 Fire Chicken

[billg4]

Saw a guy here on TC had a nikko firechicken and because I really loved my old 74 I had to build one. I stretched and used some tobee craft axle wideners to fit the chassis to the body. I do need to put longer rear posts, these are short 1 hole. oops.

Hood opens, so the front posts are nicely hiden under there. A little latch underneath pops and holds it down the hood.

I just made a RI vanity plate with ''HAKA'' on it, an old nick name that was on my 74 bird.

and the chassis during mock up

That turned out really cool. Is it a Nikko body or some other Model?

Oh that is just all KINDS of awesome. I love Firebirds.

Too bad nobody makes 1/10 scale "snowflake" wheels.

Thanks guys

Sho,

Yes Nikko toy r/c body

They can be easily found on e-pay, that's where I snagged this body up .

The antenna hole was already in the body so I used it, standard tamiya mast fits.

Love it. The bonnet hiding the clips is cool to.
