Anyone Into R/C Cars? Check out the Mopar bodies this guy paints.

I was googling two tone paint jobs for a rustystang I have and I came across this site. This dude does awesome paint work. Go to page one and two. I tried to copy the main page url, but it always goes to another page

Pretty cool.  I actually have that very Charger body unpainted and still in the bag that I purchased a few years ago for my RC10.  Right now it has a NASCAR body on it.  Too bad I can't paint as good as he can. 

Thanks for sharing though!

Wow man,
   I still have my RC/10 from the early 90's.
I pulled it out last week and started getting back into R/C.
Do they make a 3rd Gen Charger body?

[Dave22443]

heh, yeah, I've had my RC/10 that long too 
I used to race a lot but my true calling was racing in the dirt.  I still have a Team Losi truck, a Team Losi buggy, a Kyosho belt drive 4x4 buggy, my RC/10 and a Legend 4-cell.

I've saved these few items to share with my son when he got old enough.  He turned 6 this year so I dusted off the RC/10 and gave him an idea of what these cars will run.  Even running just 4 cells and a stock motor it will do north of 30 mph with ease.  I need to find a bigger place to run it before I crank it all the way up 

I also need to get a better speed controller.  I don't think my Novak T-4 is quite state of the art anymore 

[BMOTOXSTAR]

Wow,
  A Novak T4. I had one of those speed controller's.
I remember it was orange and was sweet.
I also had a Twister motor.
I have a few motors and my old Magnum Jr controller, nothing like a pistol grip controller.
Some cars I had were a Team Associated 12I, The Frog, The Fox, The Boomerang and a monster truck Big Brute. I wish I had kept all of them, I only kept the RC/10.

[Dave22443]

Yup, the Novak T4 is orange. And if I remember correctly, wasn't the Twister a 17-turn modified with adjustable timing?  Nice motor   

Back in the day, we were limited to 1400 mah batteries for the stock class but the modified guys could use the new 1700's if they could afford them. Most people figured they drained too slow though and prefered the 1400's for modified, 1200's for stock.  Now?  Last I checked I think they had'em up to 4800's!  Might be more now?

Remember soldering together a bunch of tail light bulbs together to make a rapid discharger?  Those were the days.    I wonder if they still do that?
