That is going to look killer! I like the carbon effect. Gotta try that on a road bodyxsometime. Painting bodies is one of my favorite aspects of RC.

How did you get the carbon fiber effect?

[Kansei]

I masked with mesh wall plaster tape . then light coat of silver , light coat of black , light silver then final solid coat of black . I used the same process with they foam drawer liner for the box of the Stampede - But this pattern of the mesh tape would be better scale to the body .

have a coat of the base color on . hope to trim the fenders and get it mounted tonight.

Looking good so far. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Wasn't going to cut the detachable fenders - i love the widybody look but if I don't i need to trim the rear wheel wells alot .I'm not sure if I would like the lines with that much trimming . I need to size it up more . I could cut a piece of alluminum to extend the frame that would stretch the wheelbase to fit with the wider body . Or just trim it up and have the detactible fenders .

I finished up today . decided to detach the fenders .
