I painted the body my self with Pactra Rattle Can's, Metalic Blue, Metalic Red, and Pearl White, backed with white cover coate.

It was Broken In before those pics. But I thought I better take them now while it still looks new! It won't after this weekend! LOL I will post some action shots next week.

I hope you enjoy the pics as much as I will enjoy driving it!

That looks like so much fun! A guy I work with used to have one of those gas-powered trucks. He loved it.

Yea, I have been building this in Hotel Rooms arround the south east of the country.

Yea, you can drive it from the camera, It has sound too so it is really cool to hear the motor!
