from the beginning, i bought this a good few years ago and used it several times but not many, bought some upgrades, whether they are useful or not is debateable but for a newbie user i got sucked in to thinking hydraulic brakes up front and a 3 speed gearbox was a good idea, a few other purchases made at the time too.
I now have somewhere good to run the car in either a grass setup or tarmac (old runway) so i think im going initially for the tarmac edition, maybe the length of run will make the 3 speed gearbox useful afterall, even if just to hit a top speed run.
I was going to go down the all black route, but having just collected the car and had a proper look at it for 5 years i quite like the purple chassis and the other items i bought at the time, so it will be purple and black, most if not all of the new things i buy will no doubt be black.
im going to completely strip it down and clean it and replace certain parts for to maintain, oils, fluids and bearings for one, fuel lines, new radio gear, possibly upgrade the servos but not sure on that yet.
I cannot even remember what size engine it has, i bought it used so it could be stock but im hoping its a bit bigger, eventually i may get a bigger one no matter what it has.
Took a few pics of it in the dusty state its in, if nothng else it will make the transformation look even better
