LB -
I say it fits the theme. To bad you can't get a RC body like the RV used in Stripes. That is one really nice looking van. You did a great paint job on both. Keep it coming.

Drilled the holes for the body posts and antenna. Sits pretty flush, going to mount longer bodyposts in the front later.
Next up: Fitting the electronics, I have a Novak XBR 8.5 waiting for it!

looks nice, although i think it would look better with the back at the same level as the front, i see what your trying to do with the high rear though (hot rod style!)

@ luke: Yeah, it's been some time now since I started this project. But I started my own business in the meantime which eats up most of my time.
But good things need time! And this turned out nice, didn't it?
@ lee: I tried it level and didn't like it. I think it looks way better as is now.
So, finally, she's wired up and running. Haven't had the chance to test her outside, too dark now.
But she's fast, that's for sure!
Here's the cable-chaos, will have to organize it. And the front body-pasts will be cut.

Ya, I know. I could have fabricated some custom mounts, but too lazy!
Plus, the chassis is pretty packed, I dont think there is a easy way to do it!

That's a goofy way to do the front body mounts...

Yeah, I should try that! But I only drove her once, was too scared to beat her up! [&:]
