Default Picked up another V

Needs a little work to get her running and maybe a fresh coat of paint, silver of course.

Well it's not a Getrag rear end, I think the belt drive will eliminate the wheel hop.

I would ditch the wing, go with something a little less aggressive that looks better.

Gonna "Maggie" it or maybe go with something from Kenne Bell?

That would be sweeet!

I think he also needs the V body wrap on it, too. It would look awesome!

What size is the boby? 190mm or 200mm?

I have been looking for months for that CTS-V boby.
Top speed of my car is 40mph.

I used to be in the r/c hobby. I found some old engines and car parts when we moved a couple weeks ago (and a good Futaba radio if anyone wants to buy it..FM, has a display and 3 channels). My last one (and favorite) was an 1/8th scale Ofna buggy with a .32 engine (3hp or so) and 2 speed tranny.

I go back to the original RC10 days..haha..my buddy and I each got one for Christmas..most exciting day ever.
