Your poor Volvo's paint.

Personally NOTHING gets sat on my car but clean microfiber towels during detailing but not alot of people think like that.

Cool little car though! I've always wanted one of those high speed RC boats. :lol:

That's some pretty nice detail!! But the wiper is facing the wrong way

I used to have a nitro car. I bought it together with my cousin. That thing was stupid fast. It was so fast you could really only drive it in an empty parking lot. It needed a bigger fuel cell, only lasted about 5 minutes :lol:

How fast are the electric ones? With the gearing in mine, it was good for ~80km/h.

It means that the car they made for the modelling of your RC car was registered on the road probably the same day as my 850.
