Well i ordered it last night from APEX models. But they said they didnt have any in stock and they would order them in (would take 1 or 2 days) then ship to me.

So i think it should be here around Thursday ish?

This week and next week is my Gcse mock exam week and i need the car ready by this Sunday (due to the last winter series race)

Going to be a difficult week this!

1st of all they now come in metric not Imperial...
And every rc8 driver i have spoken to love their old rc8 so the new one will be better

I have driven the old rc8 my self, loved it.

With 24+ championships under their belt i doubt there car is "sloppy".

Thanks.

Shell has been send to my sponsor (outlaw graphics) for painting.

It took me just over 8 hours ( considering i started working after school and today) .

I think its turned out very good for my first Built

Next race=next year but it will give me enough time to break the car in and fine tune anything i want.

Thanks.
