Default My Build Thread!!!!---Not what you think...

Well the SCX00 subforum has this type of thread, and I figured we should too. However I believe the mean age here will be a tad higher than there, either way, lets see what ya'll got .
Here's my build:
Here's when I was first detailing after painting and clear coating it:


Here is when I was doing a rough fit together:


And once the LED's were wired and switch put in place:



And little 'night' pic with the SC model I had built:



Alright fellahs, lets see what ya'll got .

Heh, thanks, the suspension/wheels were the most annoying part of this model, so finicky and sensitive.

Basically same as I said before.....annoying wheel mount design.

That was something I had my pops help me out with. It wasn't part of the kit. I drilled the holes in the appropriate spots. Hot glued LED's in, and since I have no clue how to solder properly, I had my pops solder the wiring for me.

I can't agree more LOL.

Well originally I did order yellows for the fogs....however the individual who sold me them said they were 3 volt. Well when I fed them 3V of power, both burnt out. Needless to say, I'm impatient and just threw the whites in.

The one that says Vertex 300 or something of the sort, with the white Aristo and 5 spoke rims is the one I bought. And if you read my previous post, no they did not come with the LED's. I ordered those from ebay. Nor did the kit come with holes to mount the LED's, I drilled the holes myself, glued the led's in myself and let my pops work his soldering magic. .

PS: I'm too poor to afford real mods for my ride, so I resort to models since those are more along my price range LOL. And I made this thread so others could post their creative toys, whether it be Die Cast or those HPI cars or what have you.
