Body looks real nice on these, interested to see how the Chassis goes together.

I'll stay tuned to yet another build thread

Same as the C11, different body and wheels.

Foam should be easy to find, it the wheels that will be tough.

Those are big foam, though... not the standard TC size foam tires...

It uses double sided tape anyway, so you can pretty easily re-use the rims if you want, right?!

You should mutiny your work one day. Bring a kit to your work, and build it in your cubicle. Hell, even your boss might even get one after he sees yours!
