Just finished up this road race style Jetta based on an RC10ds chassis. I don't have as many water cooled VW r/c's in my collection, so I was glad to finish this one up.
I made my own all black "Hot Trick" style chassis for it, and added a bunch of fluorescent yellow parts to match the body. Scratch built splitters and a rear diffuser for it too.
I'll have a Corrado based car finished soon! |
