Right now, I have taken a liking to these "scale" thingies. Thank god these Spektrum receivers have 4 slots..

My Mini Trophy is halfway through the scale upgrades. Right now it has lights in the front bumper and dual "radiator" fans on the back. My Blitz ESE that I use for racing also has a functioning RPM light bar on top.

So far that is all I got. I can put pics up soon.

Fully functioning radiators fans.

Functioning bumper lights as well. Both the fans and the lights are powered by the receiver for ease and minimum required weight. I'm thinking a few more lights up top as well. Not sure if I will get into the brake light details or not though.

Most of you are familiar with my Sand Dollar, right?

And I just picked up an unpainted HPI Mini Trophy interior set, so that should be rockin' sometime in the near future. Also got some photographs of the headlights & front turn signals from a real '94 S10 sitting on my harddrive to replace the 2-minute turds I threw together, just waiting until one of my other trucks needs a new graphics kit made up that the Dollar can borrow some sheet space from.

I think that is an old school parma body with some custom stickers. I know Tamiya used to make one, similar but I dont know the size. You might be able find one on ebay.
