Dave from the Bensenville Bombers in Chicago made this car for me as a gift. I was just blown away by it as you can imagine. 
 
He is a honor student from the "old school" slot car days and the quality and design of his builds are just amazing.

His chassis are scratch of course and the little details like the exhaust mounting are things I would have never thought of.

One thing that got my attention is the independant front wheels. I am not taking it apart to find out how, I just know they spin forever :)

The kit is from Revell. The paint scheme he chose is about as perfect as it gets on a hot rod to me. Simple & effective.

Very cool. To say it runs smooth is needless. This car is so quiet the only noise I hear is the trigger from the controller.
 
Thanks Dave, you are one of the truly great builders in our hobby.
