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.

I got the 1/10th scale body from www.towerhobbies.com. 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.
