Clear Body Pix

**PhotoPunk** · 06-19-2008 10:19 AM

Picked up a clear body and painted it for my wife. Comes with limited stickers...no headlights, tailights, or rear fans stickers. More of a race sticker set up...headlight blackouts, race numbers, etc...

Painted it the single color but left the rear window clear so you can see the esc and fan...

**watts300** · 06-19-2008 10:26 AM

Yes. Very nice.

Very nice indeed.

**SWEETZ28** · 06-19-2008 10:30 AM

Looks good..... They don't give you the roll cage stickers?

**PhotoPunk** · 06-19-2008 10:33 AM

Thanks Watts...

Ya know, if you painted it camo, it'd kinda look like a 2 door sport version of a HumVee...

Nope!

UGH I was wrong in the first post...they don't give you numbers...just 1 sticker sheet which has the window stickers...the headlight blackouts, the windshield banner, a couple of traxxas stickers.

Looks great. I can't wait to paint one of my own. No one around here carries the clear bodies yet. Where did you get yours?

**iluvmud** · 06-19-2008 10:35 AM

nice solid color jobber.... ive had my clear body for a while im trying to cut out the markings for the Ivan Stewart Toyota body.... the old school style

**SWEETZ28** · 06-19-2008 10:39 AM

Traxxas is cheap!

Why would anyone not want the roll cage stickers that's the nice part on the body!!

They don't include all the sticker sheets in any of the Traxxas branded bodies. What he got with this one sounds standard.

The additional sticker sheets are sold separately. If they were included, the total package price would be higher.

**Zoomad** · 06-19-2008 01:13 PM

There are details on that body that you just can't see with the stock tribal graphics traxxas uses. One solid color looks so much better to me. That would be a must do for me after getting a Slash, shelf the stock body and paint up a clear one with a little bit of graphics, but not a ton. Good job!

**JeeperMan** · 06-19-2008 02:29 PM

I think New Era has one, but it's even more expensive than the Traxxas body.

**Canuck1** · 06-19-2008 07:22 PM

Sweet paint. I really like the mono tone. Great color choice.

**JeeperMan** · 06-19-2008 08:08 PM

PhotoPunk: Where did you get the clear/unpainted Slash body?

**Bajaleo** · 06-19-2008 08:11 PM

Yes spill your source

**PhotoPunk** · 06-19-2008 08:16 PM

Hehe I got it here in Houston at a lhs...was the only one in Houston...

What's the New Era one look like?...anyone seen it??

.

**JeeperMan** · 06-19-2008 08:18 PM

The New Era body is too narrow. It's not as wide as the Slash body, the specs say 10" wide.

**SavagePede** · 06-19-2008 09:13 PM

Sucks about the sticker bit, but that's not as important as the body. Nice paint work and kudos for the clear area. Reminds me of what Ferrari did on the F430 (engine under glass).

The paint does look sweet. My wife would want that color too. I had to get a bug body for her E-Pede, and she wanted pink, but settled for purple.

The don't sell much (edit: ANY) pink in the LHS's here.... LOL

**JDCrow** · 06-19-2008 09:49 PM

I have a New Era Body. Test fit it on the chassis the other day.

Wheelbase is good, But its narrower than the Slash Body.

**nitrolijah72** · 06-19-2008 09:54 PM

man I love the paint job...NICE and even with the limited stickers it's cool looking..nice job!

So it looks like the tires will hit the fender well lips in full compression.

**robmac6986** · 06-19-2008 11:08 PM

actually, the body isnt sitting down all the way where its supposed to be, the back needs to be trimmed out for the rear bumper, it will in fact sit alot lower, i dont think that this body is suitable for this truck

**redmann11** · 06-19-2008 11:11 PM

cool, looks like it needs a tan, lol

**!bungle** · 06-19-2008 11:30 PM

So, did the Traxxas clear body come with window masks?

**iluvmud** · 06-20-2008 12:21 AM

**timbo512** · 06-24-2008 01:49 PM

Is this the infamous Trey from PT? I'm in Cypress and have a huge retention area right off Cypress Creek. PM me sometime. New to all this so could use the help learning. I got mine at Randy's last week.

**eemmaaxxxx** · 06-24-2008 02:04 PM

Man that color and body is sweet....I love the look but I think it will look better dirty...dont you??

Couldnt you just apply the window stickers inside as masks???

**M.Prower** · 06-24-2008 06:37 PM

You could, but I think they are little bit smaller than the actual windows are. So you would have a bit of over spray where you didn't want it. It would work, but I don't think it would look right in the end.

**big_rusty** · 06-25-2008 08:49 AM
