Chris Armstrong

My name is Chris I am from Melbourne, Australia. Firstly I must commend you guys for your outstanding range of nitro cars and trucks, I am now a total addict !! I would like to submit pictures of my Type 3 SS with Porsche 911 Turbo W/Body to your Racer's Gallery. I have upgraded most of the chassis and suspension with mostly HPI Option Parts and some Tamiya Parts. I paid particular attention to the body adding many modifications for realism. I also designed and made custom front and rear light assemblies which attach to the front and rear body post mounts on the chassis. (ie; black "wings" on front and rear of chassis). The L.E.D light assemblies have imbedded wiring and circuitry reducing the amount of "loose" wiring, and weight. They are also modular so they can easily be removed from the main chassis. The lights connect to a tiny circuit and switch mounted on the inside of the RX Cover. The custom made circuit can accomodate two more "auxilliary" devices such as mini cams or other "powered" devices. The circuit also has a switchable orange "interior" light which allows me to see the fuel level and speedometer.
Webmaster note: Modifications were extensive and impressive. Far too many to list.

My Name is Chris Martens
This is my second time sending pics of my NMT. I am in May week 18 as well. I am sending these pics of my new body and paint job. I dedicate these pics to a small group of OHIO alumni in the central Florida area. Due to the recent hurricane season a few of them elected to stay with their homes and family and cancel a trip they had planned to go to OHIO for a game and meet with other friends and family. Hey guys I hope you like the paint job.
Thanks,
Chris Martens
