raider
hi all this is the second of my raiders and will be my main basher ive painted it exactly like the one i had way back when ,and yes that does mean badly lol, my masking was a bit crap plus the repo decals have come out a bit transparent dont know if thats the decals or me .Still pushed along by the le mans05 but i have more vintage motors coming so that will get swapped out,golds alround universal driveshafts proline front rims,i do have a kyosho racing clutch which i really wanted to try but most opinions say their a bit weak so i'll just stick that in my other one,apart from the ballraceing and probably a new spoiler as i proper mucked that up its done !thanks for looking

I Like that colour scheme!!
More should try the Raider its in my view a great buggy as runner and mine has been reliable so far and as you know Handles quite well! Its one of my main Runners now alongside my Bull, Outlaw, Pajero and Boomerang!
Have fun buddy.

Mate this will still look great Blasting around the beach and you don't want a runner shell to be 100% excellent because it holds you back from giving it large when driving them!! Most of my cars live on the shelf to admire now because i put so much work into them that i don't want to damage them and the high cost of parts but i have run all of them at first so i have experience them all in action!
Its good to have good looking runners for sure but not perfection so i don't end up driving them in fear of rolling them or a big crash! and the cars i said below apart from my boomerang that i do take it a bit easy with because its got a winger shell! but the rest fit the bill very well and i drive them with no worries at all!!
Your Raider looks fine to me bud and happy beach blasting!!

ye i know it wouldnt stay perfect for long once i start thrashing it about just get annoyed with fat old fingers lol,and rest asured this will be thrashed at my nearest beach ha ha !

It looks fine to me and will look fantastic when running . Non-original decals are really up to scratch over darker colours (IMO) unless they're white backed and I've fallen foul of that in the past but they're still dead handy Enjoy your raider

I am just 38 but my hand is no way as steady as it was in my youth when painting and my eye not as sharp!!
You are not on your own mate!! Ha Ha
Get some pics of your next beach trip!
I love a good old beach shot and i have a soft spot for these Raiders!
Cheers.
