First RC car....reborn
Long time coming. After seeing all the amazing SS from several TC members, decided to revive my old SS into a runner. Carefully took apart the radio box, radio gear, mech ESC, body, etc and stored away. Then picked up a blitzer shell from ebay, chassis from Twinset (cheers Andy), rear/front cage combo from Shodog (thanks Jim), misc parts from ebay and lots of inspiration from Stevo309, Twinset, shodog, and volksrod's great work. I wanted a retro livery that hadn't been done b4. What says retro more than brown/yellow/orange? Still some work to do but here it is so far. Since the pics were taken, I was able to locate headlight lenses, solid rear CRP covers, and added the front cage. Would have done things a tad different, but there's always a next time.

Got to agree about the colours, they look very retro. Great looking SS. I would change the nose cone though to a MB or SS one if you can.

Nice paint scheme, very retro. Whole car looks great.....just swap the nose cone for an ss item!!!

Well than you all for your kind comments. It is a work in progress and if I can locate an SS nose, I will swap for sure as I do find the blitzer nose too protruding.

Looks nice. Different to others and I think that's only ever a good thing!!
