LP500 Countach FXXDS project

Hi,
Here is a mock up of what I'm currently building, an MST FXX-DS. Basic kit with a couple of small aluminum upgrades only, steering arm and bearing/shaft holder.  Using a Turnigy 10T BL motor and 35A ESC, with a MST servo(trying to save money on this kit).  Using +8 offset aluminum wheels I got from 2Keys Racing in Australia, with R2Hobby treaded drift tires.  HobbyKing Lambo body, I'm going with a European Factory Sports Car Racing Team look using the MST stickers that came with the kit. Will be using an invisible body mount kit from R2 and a FlySky GT3 radio sold by RCMart as the XtraSpeed Unicorn.  First kit I've built in over a year, and I'm looking forward to finishing it.  I'm up to putting the shocks together and I'm just too tired tonight to finish it, so I think I'll have a Corona and kick it for now.  Get back to this in a few days.  Will post another pic with chassis photo when I'm done. Didn't use the acrylic spoiler cuz I hate screwing with clear acrylic spoilers and light buckets, so I went with a more racy spoiler to match the GT car looks. Its hard to tell from these pictures, but I screwed up the paint by backing metallic silver with metallic gun metal and it showed through in a couple of tiny spots, but it looks pretty good in the pics. The bolts on the back end were on purpose, give it a bit of a functional/racy look and just to be different.
Cheers,
