    No that was not me :). Never made it up to the Seattle area. I have done many 12 hour trips from San Diego, CA to Eugene, OR 10 years ago in a guards red 951.

    Hi Doom! I agree the blue and orange feel too dark. Would be nice to have a version that was more fluorescent like the yellow wheels. Might switch it up down the road :)

    Chapman - Tamiya Neo Scorcher Build

    Sept.20.2023 The silver stickers arrived. Unfortunately they are VERY shiny/reflective. In the pictures they appeared more gray and dull. Went ahead and ordered some other Tamiya stickers which might work better on the Neo Scorcher.
