sorry but that side of the shell is just as ugly as the x-5's 'lump'.

any cml driver gives the x-5 shell abuse ill throw some back at them too

ive knew about this for ages and had to keep mi mouth shut

I think the 'lump' has been far better executed on the Yokomo though, and that goes for the rest of the shell, it looks far more 'designed' than a runny blob of resin oozed over a car.

The only part I did wrong was the universal, put the short one in the rear, everything else is going in nicely.

yes but at least the x5 shell is being honest about having a lump, the yoke shell is trying to hide the fact its there, in a crap kind of way.

maybe its the blue influenceing me, i dont like it as its a common colour on cars it seems

Wait a min, those tires aren't the Schumacher mini pins.... are you guys running on American style tracks now? Nice looking car there Jimmy. I anxiously await your review.

hehe took it out on 2wd day with Ian Barnards Euros (for this upcoming Euros in Austria) tyres on the car- not glued up, just for photos! looks all american tho on the dirt with those tyres.. I actually glued up schumacher yellow mini spikes which turned out to be somewhat of an error.
Thanks again to Ian Barnard for saving the day by lending me his practice tyres so i could dominate my final ! lol

jimmy, noticed on your photos you dont have any dust covers on the diffs, i assume it comes with some or do you have to fashion your own?
