Wow! You gotta look carefully to see which car it is in the photos. This is going to be a BIG hit if you take it over to the John Force Holiday car show in December, little Cobra sitting on top of the BIG cobra!

You have done something that I've only HEARD many other hobbyists say they were going to do... build a Q-Scale replica of their real car. One of the ULTIMATE RC hobby achievements?

But you actually DID it, and built BOTH cars, as a bonus! Incredible!!!!

Thanks for the kind comments mike. The build has been a dream come true. Fantastic experience and its amazing how motivated we have stayed. There is a ton of support with local cobra owners. I cant believe we did not do this before!

Here is a nice vid of yesterday. Just a short cruise. First one with the body on. Kept a smile on my face all day!!!

Yea, and we live where there is NO traffic as you can see, but the stay at home left winger moms dont have a hobby, so they just get stop signs put in everywhere. Its really starting to fry my ass! :)

still needs a ton of work. Lots of detail work and also some setup. I am ordering a 4 post lift for the garage so we are getting it ready in there. This thing is going to be a beast. It will be capable of 0-60 in 3.5 seconds or less. I need to make sure its safe before i take it out for a real spin :) LOL.

Every day, it just gets better and better :) I have been working on tuning it. I raised the tail of the trans and have worked the carbs and timing a bit. Getting to 60mph in second gear VERY fast. In the high 3 second range. WOW!
