    Just another newly painted body.

    Might look kinda normal to everyone else, but kinda prod of this one I am. Only 3rd body painted and slammed as far as possible without having to remove any of the body. Know I will have to go back up to taller body mounts when run on 3's, but with 2's slight rub on the front end and wheelie bar hits.
    Stock Motor(rebuilt) is going back in this one when my Slash Chassis shows up end of this week. Get a chance to paint a new body again also







    Little black things around the holes in the body are wiring grommets that can be had at any auto. store.
    Also lowered so much antennae wanted to come threw the windshield, so I heated the tube, made a couple of slight angle bends and had it come out where a normal FM/AM radio antennae would

    One more shot showing how close the body is to the wheelie bar.

    Very nicely done. I want a scale rig to make pretty like that. I am way to hard on my pede. 4 foot jumps, landing on the roof on rocks would suck if it was pretty

    I prefer the Slash rear bumper with wheels attached VS the stock wheelie bar.

    Yep mine is in the mail with the Slash chassis, BUT you still cut some of your body away.

    I like that color red, you did a great job. I love seeing newly painted bodies cause they inspire me to paint. This one got me thinking about my "Bodies for Charity" series I want to do. I'm gonna pick up a body this weekend and staring at it and a computer screen for hours for design ideas....thanks alot man....I dread painting because I stare at the body for hours while I see different design ideas. It's hard to make up my mind on what to paint.
