Would look even better with this body on it Darren!!!

No joking aside it looks really good mate.
Do you prefer it to your Marder race?
I much prefer my MT to the Marder I had.

Im glad you all like it.

Yes i do prefer it to my Marder Race (what good memory you have), i prefer the monsters handeling in general better than the Marder. With the marder i think you have to be very accurate when driving it, compared to the MB, which you don't.

The shell is quite scratched and there is a little bit of blue paint flaking, but the silver somes through instead.

I look after my cars, always have done with cleaning my cars. When i cleaned it two weeks ago, i vurturlly (sp?) striped the car down and used 'Muc-Off' bile cleaning stuff...buy did it work a treat. Highly recomend it.

Yea its great. Before in my previous Marder Race i had the Jumbo digi servo which was ok, but a little slow. The RHINO is much better

Looks good dazz...
But do we need to show you what dirt looks like?
My MB has NEVER looked that clean, first run out and haven't looked back. The only thing i clean is moving parts so it looks like my chassis will never see the light of day again.
