350z RC Body
So feeling inspired to do something this weekend I went to the local Hobby store and picked up a new shell for my RC car and some paint. Here is what I created. After doing the red tail lights i realised I should have let the paint dry some more after seeing the red seep under the silver paint. Oh well it still looks great and next time ill know to wait longer. The windows and headlights are done in a translucent smoke and the tails in a translucent red so im gonna wire some LED's up to um.

I think i am going to have to get a z body for my RC car. I never really put to much time into the body of the RC car cause i am always crashing it, however seeing your skilled craftsmanship has brought a change of heart.

They are fast as hell until you hit a curb and all that ABS plastic shatters.

Nice paint scheme Seath.
Tip for the wheel funnels next time: Just trace out the wheel well with an x-acto knife, then pull one corner and it should rip off following the line you just traced. Makes a more perfect half-circle and cleaner arch.
Oh and heres what I was running right before I stopped running RC cars:
