The seam lines are a nice touch. Pinstripe tape or paint pen?

I have the jada too. I like the tail lights on the jada a little better but its a little small for a 1:10 scale and it is just a toy

Thanks for the compliments folks. The seam lines were done using very thin black tape. The wheels are easy to change, but I kind of like the black centers for contrast.

Damn, at first I thought it was a real 8! Very nice and I like the rims! I was thinking about getting the Jada.

It's $21.99, but again it's just the body and you need to paint and detail it. Also needed are the RC chassis & motor, radio controller, servos etc. A starter kit will probably run anywhere from $120-$200, but they can get much more expensive. Many rc car makes (HPI, Yokomo, Team Associated, Tamiya, Kyosho etc.) and lots of hop up options too.

i really wanted to get it but seems that hpi discontinued the cheapers rs4 kits and the only one left is the pro4 which i'm assuming is really expensive
