Ok, so it's not a TA01, it's in fact parked on my TA02RS 4WD Chassis Kit that I have had a million years. This is a fantastic car.
Chassis: It is well used and kind of dirty (I run with two friend that have nitro cars). I have run this hard for about 15 years and so far have broken....well, I bent the drive shaft...nothings ever broken. I did add a new after market driveshaft. The one way bearing has got to make this the easiest car to drift on the face of the earth. All the grip of 4wd with the over steer of RWD. The car has ball bearings and a variety of wheels and tires depending on surface. The car has Airtronics electrics with a Novak Duster 2 esc. Stock 540 or a race prep 24 degree, 27 turn stock powers it. Depends on where I am.
Body: This was a royal pain in the a$$. There are NO decals separating the yellow and blue mind you; that is my masking making that sweet stripy deliciousness. I painted this in about 1998. The exterior abs bits were painted with the same paint that I did the lexan but then I clear coated everything to make it shinny. I ordered the rally insides for this (and my Mondeo) so that should make a nice difference. The body used to have gap lines in black but it has been wiped and polished so many times I need to redraw them. I was never a fan of the BBS' that came on the stock car so I never ordered them. These are off of the Calsonic Primera and I like the look. I drive this body often (with no one around) as it is too pretty to sit on a shelf. 15 years and not a scratch on it! The Toyota Celica is my runner shell. I think it is a Parma? Either way, it looks good and slices through the air nicely.
If you liked those pictures, you should see these...
Some say I am obsessive...

Looks great in both disguises. The 02 is a great chassis.

That sure is a purty car there. Nice work all the way around. I admire your decal work and get to putting those shut lines back on there for some more awesomeness. Can't wait to see it with the drivers in it.

The Cosworth does look good - come on Tamiya, I want a Whale tail too!
