Are you running brushless? Any recommendations?
After painting dozens of monster truck lids, this one is absolutely turning out to be my favorite body project. I've spent about 20 hours on it, and another 30 just looking at it. I'm about half way through with the exterior trim, but I'm adding in a lot of scale options that take time.
Just sitting on the bench, mounted on the chassis, it looks like it's doing 180 MPH.

Unfortunately, no, it's an old nitro RS4 Racer 2. I would love to have a brushless setup though, hmmmm wonder if there's a conversion? I want to try the RC drifting, it looks SO fun. I couldn't agree more Rolex, I was proud of that Supra body when it was done, even for a rattle can job. I may just do up a really nice one over the winter for a display body, since like you I think a touring car looks the business just sitting there. Can't wait to see yours when it's finished!
 
I'm pretty sure the conversion to brushless would just be a drop-in of the motor and ESC. HobbyTown had it for 139.
I have no idea what this will do stock, but if I could find a track within and hour of here I'd be all over these touring cars.

That's the great thing about this hobby. There's always something different. I've been through planes, helis, boats and rock crawlers, and now here's something else that's totally new to me.
 
Time to hit the body shop.
