Here's all I could do last night. Added "shocks" to the rear suspension and built up the front bulkhead.

One of the first things I'd add to this if it were mine would be a set of oil filled shocks. These are just springs and bump stops. Shocks would improve the handling greatly.

These are looking great. It already looks better built than my real one! Great job on these!

All I need is paint! I just haven't had time - and can't decide on how to paint it. It's going to be painted like one of the famous GT's, I just can't decide which one!

I may have been wrong about the plowing problem. On linoleum (sp?) the car will rotate around it's inside tire. Pretty cool. I spent 5 minutes drifting around the kitchen. Now I'm on to paint two more bodies. The red will be a sister car to the white one but the pink one will be a 70's version of the Fast & Furious S2000.

I'll post build pics tomorrow. I needed to make a few mods for the 914 to sit right.

DJjm -
I just wanted to pass on a very belated thanks for making these available - I fricken love it! Cant wait to get started on the thing. Never really been an RC guy, but after getting this and checking the other stuff that is available out there, I think I may have found a new hobby.

Thanks Again! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

Not part if the Alfa's directions is the part than lengthens the chassis to fit the Porsche bodies. The part is included though.

cut the posts. The direction say to add one set of clips below the body, but doing so makes the 914 ride too high. I uses some left over shock tubing cut to size.

I'm trying to post pics of a red shell I just finished stickering. I may need to wait till Monday so I can do it from work. For some reason, I can't post pictures from home. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)
