I relocated the antenna & post. After that i thought that maby the tinting would work...

Result.....Darker windows than the black paint! -i can see thru the windows, but this is weird.
Anyway, it is what it is, maby i´ll later add some silver trim on window frames or something .

Had a close call today. I was finally running my car and after doing a few speed runs down my street I started to see what everyones been talking about with controlling these things. After sliding whenever I put the brake on I was keeping a close eye on the car. But not the road[X(]. It went right under a ladies car
, but as soon as she backed up TADAH no harm since the f103 sits so low. It also helped that she was driving a new charger and the must sit a little higher. I did have a couple small scratches on the posts behind the drivers head but nothing really noticeable. Lesson of the day, NO RC's IN THE STREET.

You are lucky that the damage isn't more!!
My first ever RC (a Tamiya Hornet) was ran over by a car in its first time out!! Turned out to be a radio problem... that was 20+ yrs ago... ha!!

Hard to prevent a spin out except drive it with some throttle control.. ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
It is a lightweight RWD car...

This shell has the same wheelbase as your regular touring car sedan..
I don't have a "normal" pan-car so I can't help you there.. but if you have a pan-car and a regular TC.. then you can do a side by side comparison...

Either keep it stock (as my other one was converting into a touring car) or do a custom build.. like what Dante did w/ a muscle car shell.. we will see.. or sell it to the highest bidder!!

Ive been thinking about investing in some Timaya cars, seeing some go for a few thousand dollars. I know it does take 20 years to get there but hey its and investment. Are the newer Tamiya cars worth it ?

I can't tell ya.. I don't buy them to "invest".. ha! Sometimes you luck out, sometimes you don't... some of the RCs I bought I was able to sell it for more than what I paid for, but seriously, I can't make a living doing this.. ha!!

I hear that. Im just discovering I really like building them more thatn running them, so why not buy some that I could possibly make some money back from. In all honesty I probably wouldnt sell any I hate giving up my toys.
