Since it's a new tool kit I'd say the chances are there's moldrelease agent on it in the nooker and crannier places. Definitely give the bits a wash. Getting the paint off will be easy as pie using that polycarbonate you used to get the paint off that other model. Make sure you wash it reallllll good before priming. What's the new colour for em??

Exactly what I was thinking too. I'll go racing white, it will suit the body colour and hide the edge if I can't get full coverage.

I think I got the stance just right. Not a lot of ground clearence maybe 2mm so at 1:24 that's 2 inches

Way too much chrome on the front end for me!!

Exhaust is complete, cut off to match the floor but could have continued thru under the diff. I don't think I'll be able to get the suspension 100% but it'll look the goods.
