Yea...I broke down and finally got one. It has a custom paint job and shaved door handles. Oh yea...and it has some serious bling-bling rims. Enjoy!



Hehehe...in case you can't tell, thats not a real LS-430. I got a new LS-430 body shell for my 1/10 scale nitro R/C car and just finished up painting and detailing the body. All thats left is the tires and dual-rear existing exhaust. Nice huh? I know...i know... "why didn't you get an Infiniti body shell?!". Well...noone makes Infiniti body shells. So untill someone does, I'll be painting up and showing off the 2nd best there is...Lexus.

Its gonna mount up on a HPI Nitro RS4-3. Although I am hesitant in putting holes in the body for the mounting posts, exhaust and air circulation. I may just end out making this a display-only car and mount it up on a fake chassis. :D

Well, a good place to look around is www.towerhobbies.com. These are more fun than slotcars because these go anywhere...not just stuck on a 1-way path on an enclosed track. :D
