I figured you guys would appreciate these... both are ready for our season opener this Saturday. I may finish dead last, but I'll at least look good doing it. :D

I had a company do both cars and my SpeedMerchant 1/12th scale car for about $60 total. I have been really into the pink stuff lately. I think it's such a cool color, and the fact that most guys get all weirded out by it makes it even that much better. At least I know there aren't going to be any other cars that look like mine. :D

The front arms for both cars are from RC Tuff-Parts. They were a local company making Delrin machined front arms for a bunch of different buggies, and they are supposedly very durable. I think they sell a few different kinds on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/BJ4-Delrin-Front-Arms_W0QQitemZ140112677170QQihZ004QQcategoryZ34063 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) now...

Nope. Dyed black and then plotter-cut fluorescent orange vinyl on the face. The discs are cut smaller, so they not only make the wheels look smaller, but they also fit touring car dish wheels, too. I like black wheels, but I have trouble seeing my car in corners with them, so I needed to make them pop a bit.

Both the cars are mint Doug, one question has the GTB in the B4 been ok without the fan?.

Yup, with a 6.5R Velocity and a sintered rotor, no problems at all (yet). We'll see how it does under pressure on Saturday. I talked with the guys at Novak and they said it should be fine/no problems without a fan and the sintered rotor. The body is scooped and vented to the ESC, and the fins are angled to have the airflow go through them instead of over them. There is also an exhaust vent cut in the rear of the body to let hot air escape.

Thanx for that Doug:)
