It wasn't pre-made I had to do all the stickers by hand. Which was done with a lot of swearing in the process. As for the rear the judges are out on that. It can go about 95% compression without rubbing and it is pretty stiff back there. Whether it rubs or not is left to be seen. I have other wheels/tires stashed just to lazy to glue them together right now. I wanted to test drive it today but the ground is still wet from yesterday so it looks like I will be rebuilding my SC10 instead. []

LOL yeah the decals do look like a pain in the rear.

It seems we have a similiar taste in RC's, I just ordered an SC10

Willy it is really easy to apply. It is stiff so you can just lay it flat on the chassis and then trim with an Exacto knife. Just make sure it is a fresh blade and it'll cut like butter.

Forgot to add I used a credit card to lay it down so there are no bubbles as well as press it down. I don't want that sucker coming off.

I like it with the rear wheels and front wheels sticking out a bit. It looks more aggressive in person I guess.

I just applied the chassis protector to my F104 with enough left over for my Evo. Definitely looks like good stuff. Easy to trim and looks thick enough to withstand any abuse the chassis may endure.

Nice hopefully I can test it out today. Do you have pics of the F104? I have an F series car in my wish list.
