Recently my girl pointed out that if I planned on spending this much time with my RCs I could at least build one for her too!! ...further she demanded something cute and pink, just to make sure it really was for her! :-)
I got her an 'XB Sand Scorcher', equipped it with a lexan shell I found on ebay and finished it metallic pink with some alternate color MB decals! However today we took it out for it's 1st run and it was fun! I think the lexan shell looks surprisingly nice... the whole car does... I'd never thought I could fancy a pink car but I've to admit this one is growing on me! ;-)

That color pink is actually very cool looking, and I never thought I'd say that about pink. Anyway, awesome job!

I can't believe its a lexan. It looks great. And the color is sweet. Thats the perfect color for a sand rover. Hey my wheels are starting to turn. Is there a bit of purple in that color as well.

Very cool! Hope she enjoys her new hobby! You never know, there might be a wrestling match for the screwdriver next time a NIB turns up!

Nice job! she is a smart looking bug and that shell is a good look/shape/fit for a lexan one! and i feel the same about the pink on these cars its a NO-NO for me 'BUT' this looks great and i was A big fan of the box art frog to so it works on some! cheers buddy.
