I went for mt first drift meet last night at Dover. Only a few guys and a kid was there. And they were really nice too...I had trouble with my gears and stuff and they helped me fix it up through out the whole thing. And their cars are like super awesome...Their body shells are really beautiful...Don't forget that when you first get the body shell, its completely uncut and transparent. You have to get a pair of really sharp scissors and follow the lines given to cut out the shaped of the body. Then you have spray paint the colour you want followed by all the decals and designs. For those who can afford it, they install headlights and brake lights as well...really cool...

Here's a few photos of the super beautiful body shells:

First off my favourite car, the Mitsubishi Evo series:

Note: These are RC drift cars...NOT real cars, however real they look..

Now are those beautiful or what?

And here's a look at my crappy job with Ebbro 350R:

Here's the advertised, suggested design on the box:

And this is the crap I made:

I know its fugly and its partly due to my stupidity...I wasn't supposed to remove the outer plastic protection before I spray painted the inside...although its not horrible, the outside of the shell isn't shiny like everyone else's...and it has this dusty feel to it since micro droplets of paint dust from the spray paint has settled onto the outside...

Oh well...I'll get another shell soon..this time an Evo...and I'll make sure I'll do a damn good job...
