Default RS500 Build
Done a deal against my escos for the RS500, so desided to strip the car and get Robo to give it a full hit

Ive had the 500 about a month now so its come on a bit and people have been have a go for not putting pics up

So here you go

very cool

really looking forward to the end of the project.
