Status: offline 		Interesting new take (good for a painting noob like me!) on painting camo.. paint the base color and then apply the stickers.. ha!

Probably should apply a matte clear coat after the decals are applied... !

Status: offline 		Metal ballbearings are included.. (taped to the inside of the box, ha!) but only as "bonus parts included".. not part of the standard issue (plastic bearings / bushings are included in the parts bag..).. kind of interesting..

Only 5x11 bearings are included.. not the 5x8.. (why Tamiya?! ) Good thing that I have plenty of ball bearings of various sizes at home.. so it is not a problem..

Status: online 		I have been wanting to do another tamiya kit lately. i have done a cc-01, lunchbox and midnight pumkin.

I like the idea of a non-camo paint. was it easy to paint everything a diff color?

i was thinking a strong blue. give it a sand buggy look, as the red one has.

I put Frog rear shocks on mine with the stock FAV springs as they are softer ,,,, now it works much better.
