Its basically a standard mo3 chassis, but with a few optional extras. So far I have a set of 3 racing shocks, on road tuned spring kit, stronger front steering arms and hubs in blue chrome. Full set of ball bearings (original grease flushed out with brake cleaner and then oiled with wd40) hollow carbon shafts, reinforced gear set, 1.5degree toe in rear uprights again in blue chrome, front and rear sway bars and blue alloy servo mounts.
At the moment it’s only running a 20turn motor with standard gearing, but on a nice open smooth car park it has more than enough power to spin the front tyres.
But the most expensive item has to be the body. I found a new old stock one tucked away in a local model shop for £25 with the stickers; they normally go for £35 on ebay. I then probably spent (had a few left over half used cans) that again just on the paint. The multicolour union jack roof was all hand masked and sprayed up with cans and then finished off with white pinstripe type. The blue also got a light backing coaut of metallic purple and then black, so in some lights the blue has a slightly deep blue/purple look to it. Although because of the time and money that’s gone into the shell I’ve since bought a cheaper one and just painted it up in a standard green and white roof combo.
