Very shortly this will be entering a 'Cars are the Stars' contest over on a forum about its original engine. I'm trying for getting it ready to rock since its on a waiver into their Modified class as the electric power means it's actually an Outlaw and not in the running.
Here's the wire harness it takes to run the body lights. Supplier issues mean the roof lights are still currently setup as only solid instead of Red solid / Amber wig-wag. Grrr.
I'm probably going to pull the RX Switch out of the Ambulance so i can have the siren finctional and wire it up pretty. Then i still have to knock together a servo mount for the momentary switch.
Need to pick up some white paint for touch up, then chrome out the window trim.
Then just take it outside, get some pretty pics, and i can try to get a "Dishonorable Mention" or maybe even get to take "Worst Prize"!
Originally (before i went Electric) it sucked Nitro and was the Ducks Guts.
Sh-she's the last of the V8's! S-sucks n-nitro, with phase 4 heads! 600 horsepower through the wheels! She’s meanness set to music and the ***** is born to run!
Actually no. Although i never even ran her on nitro, i have to admit the cox cam-steering cars weren't really all that amazing. It was cool that it's a robotic car that worked off a rotary punch card. Electric RC is *SO* much better than on Nitro with 4 interchangible steering control disks.

Some sick part of me still really wants to build up an Action Van body. It just needs graphics and murals to go full on 1970s Vanning. Possibly a shaker motor so while parked the body can be Rocking.
