I like it... There is a reason drift cars are bright colours and vivid vinyls in Japland. We saw this in the past with the RC drift cars too... If you are any good it is more impressive seeing you on the track. Also how close you get to clipping points, the wall etc.
Two thumbs up!
just paint the rest - it looks like midnight spares supplied the front end now...

Thx mark! Yeah we saw it now as well, a dark car can hide a cars angle and line in a lot of aspects.
We did Hardcore drifting shakedown round 2 this weekend at Phakisa in welkom.
The reaper was not a happy camper this weekend... I had a loan gearbox with no 1st gear, and the car was splatering bad under boost, I still managed to qualify 5th, and won Crowd pleaser as well as 3rd place, I am extatic for the results consedering the Reaper's health!
Quensley was also there, what a gorgous car! Bad had very bad luck, would have loved to have met him!

What are you doing to the boxes, all the big power guys run the R154's without issues? What box you going for? I've heard the later model 350Z boxes are very strong.
