Doldrums

Not much going on right now.  After finding some unexpected costs with importing a car from Japan I'm having to save up quite a bit more money.  Thankfully the RC Drifting "season" is starting to pick up since the weather is getting colder outside today.  Speaking of which, we had our first real frost this morning.

For the start of the season I've painted up a new shell.  It is an HPI Chaser Mark II with their Overdose kit.  The kit includes the add-on grill and in addition to regular light buckets for LED lights, it has clear lenses to go over the buckets.  Typically you would just not paint that area of the lexan body, but in this case you have to cut out that part so that the clear lens can poke through.  It also has the WELD Racing decals applied over a white body, instead of the usual blue.
