the paint looks pretty good, the wheels look pretty good, my only complaint it how choppy the cuts on the wheel wells look.

Very nice, dSpec! I was thinking of getting the rally kit for my TC3 R34 Skyline (ya, a rallying r34) but haven't had the time; how does it handle?

I've had rocks in my steering too; helps to have a speed controller that can brake real well.

How many turns on the motor?

The wheel wells look better now. That was just some Dremel work I had to do.

The car handles well, just make sure your servo is powerful enough to handle the dirt.

The motor installed is a 10x2 Trinity D6.

Yeah I was about to get the Tamiya one at first, but my friend who works at this hobby shop hooked me up with a free body. Maybe the next one will be a Tamiya one =].

Too bad I can't make it out to Vegas. Too much school and my race car is broken down (needs a bunch of parts). Are you?

Also...I'll be putting up new pics of the car tomorrow night. Installed Blue HIDs (J/K, they're blue LEDs).

New pics up...video is pretty much complete, if you guys want to see it, let me know. It's just missing some footage to fill up the entire song, so you don't hear the whole song.
