Looks interesting.

wow, i use to build these in high school. nothing like what they have now. but i use to use the same method of bent rod, fishing line and motors. only thing i recommend is to reinforce the areas (with like aluminum from soda can)that the string rubs against. for the hole where it goes from the motors, use the things for buttons. i forget what they are called, but you can find them at micheals. if not the string will start cutting through the plastic.

have fun.

I have to admit that I'm not a huge lowrider fan, but I love seeing the paint jobs and graphics they often have. Excellent fogged paint on this, and the color is fantastic. I hope you will be able to post a video of the working bits when it's done.

You mean this excellent build is going to jump around?

For somebody who says you don't know what you're doing, you sure look like you know what you're doing.

thanks, it doesnt hop high, just goes up and down, the paint is nail polish from walgreens

BTW, looking at the instruction sheet and the box art i discovered that the upper side decals are placed different on both sheet and box art but i like how it came
