    My new Type R

    F*** yeah This was my first serious attempt at painting and trimming a body and I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out. The bodyshell is made for the HPI RS4 so the fitment onto my HPI E10 was a little tricky but it turned out good. The wheels are a TE37 with 3mm offset...
