1/10 DRIFT CAR UPDATE :-)
THIS IS MY HARD BODY CELICA 1/10 DRIFT CAR. I INSTALLED ALL OF THE LIGHTS, NOW IT IS STREET LEGAL. I HAVE ABOUT 12 FULL SETS OF DRIFT RIMS/TIRES. SO I WILL BE LEARNING THE ART OF DRIFTING FA SHO. I INSTALLED THE FRONT AND REAR ALUMINUM SHOCK MOUNTS FOR A LIL MORE STABILITY. I FINALLY INSTALLED THE BRUSHLESS SYSTEM. BECAUSE THIS IS ONLY MY DRIFTER, I PUT THE 30A ESC WITH A 12T MOTOR. FOR ME THIS IS A GREAT COMBINATION. I NORMALLY ONLY RUN ONE CAR AT A TIME, JUST TO KEEP EVERYTHING IN GREAT QUALITY, BUT THIS CHASSIS I WILL BE DRIFTING ALOT. I WONT BE DOING ANY MORE UPGRADES ON THIS ONE. STAY TUNED FOR MY ALUMINUM DRIFTER SHOW CAR :-)

1/10 TRUENO AE86
THIS IS MY NEW TRUENO AE86 BODY. I AM JUST TRYING TO GET IDEAS OF WHICH RIMS TO PUT UP UNDER IT. IT WAS ONLY $9.99 NEW. IT CAME PRE-PAINTED. FOR THE PRICE, IT WAS WORTH THE MONEY. THE WHEELBASE IS ON POINT AND SO ARE THE POST HOLES. I WILL CORRECT THE IMPERFECTION WITH CARBON FIBER SHEET. THE PAINT LINES ARE NOT ALL THAT STRAIGHT, THOSE ARE THE IMPERFECTIONS. ON MY LONG LIST OF RC WORK, I AM GOING TO MOD SOME FLIP-UP LIGHTS FOR THIS, TINT THE WINDOWS, AND MOD LIGHT BUCKETS. I AM GOING TO KEEP IT SIMPLE AND SOMEWHAT TRADITIONAL TRUENO AE86, BUT WITH A LIL SWAG :-). STAY TUNED AND ENJOY!
1/10 HUMMER CRAWLER PROJECT BODY'S PROGRESS

1/10 TOYOTA CELICA CUSTOM-UPDATE
I GOT THE LIGHTS 99%INSTALLED. I STILL HAVE TO MOD AND MOUNT THE TAIL LIGHTS. I HAVE THE WHITE FOG LIGHTS WITH AMBER HEADLIGHTS. LOOKS A TAD BIT BETTER THAN NORMAL WHITE HEADLIGHTS WITH AMBER FOG LIGHTS. I ALSO HAVE THE AMBER AND RED LIGHTS INSIDE THE SPEAKERS, FOUR TOTAL. I ALSO GLUE SOME TIRES ON SOME WHITE 12 SPOKE RIMS. THESE WILL BE WHAT I RUN ON.
WHAT'S LEFT TO COMPLETE ON THIS TREASURE I FOUND. THE TAIL LIGHTS, MOUNT THE TAIL PIPE, FIND A WING, REPLACE BOTH SIDE MIRRORS WITH AMBER SIGNAL SIDE MIRRORS AND MOUNT THE BLUE UNDERGLO. I HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW OFFERS ON THIS BODY. IF THEY KEEP GETTING HIGHER, I MIGHT HAVE TO POST IT ON EBAY :-). STAY TUNED AND ENJOY.

HUMMER CRAWLER PROJECT PROGRESS
THIS IS THE BODY I AM USING FOR MY CRAWLER. I CHANGE BODIES ALL THE TIME, DUE TO PEOPLE BUY THE ONES THAT I PLAN TO KEEP :-). SO I GOT A FEW OF THIS ONE AND I HAVE ENOUGH TO KEEP THIS ONE. I AM GOING TO SAND THE BODY AND PAINT IT A GREEN, GREY, OR BLACK. IT WILL HAVE A PAINTED CARBON FIBER ROOF, BED, AND MAYBE THE HOOD. I AM GOING TO USE THESE RIMS/TIRES, BUT NOT THE CHASSIS. I JUST HAD TO GET AN IDEA OF HOW I WANT MY CRAWLER TO LOOK. I AM SURELY GOING TO GET COSMETIC ACCESSORIES FOR THE TRUCK. LIKE THE ROOF RACK, LIGHTS ON THE ROOF, BED ROLL, ETC. STAY TUNED AND ENJOY :-)
PROGRESS ON TOYOTA CELICA PROJECT :-)
Keep in mind this is my project body. This is a hard body, painted with spray paint and lexan paint. I know it wasn't the paint choice of many, but i had both colors of paint around. I got the body custom stealth mounted. I wanted no body post to secure it. I think it looks better that way. I put my chrome 10 spoke drift rims on it. I think this is going to be my drifter. I have to get the tail pipe and lights installed. I am going to put some fog light at the bottom of the front bumper. And maybe some undergo. That will be all for this one. And i have to find a wing for it. Enjoy :-)
