Well, I took on a build for a fellow member who wanted a BM-VII based crawler.

After he had gathered all the parts, he set them to me I started the build.

Here is a list of the parts to be used in this build.

BM-VII Chassis
TLT axles
Aluminum axle C's
Aluminum Knuckles
CPE wideners
Stealth tranny
Max shafts
TQ3 Tx/Rx
Mamba 25
Revolver 2
Tower Pro MG 955
1400 IB 1200 2/3 6 cell
Masher 2000s
HPI Spike wheels

I have everything just about finished, just waiting on a new set of B4 cases to arrive as the old case was damaged.

After they arrive, I'll assemble and install the tranny and drive shafts.

Basically that is all that is left to do on the build other than mounting the ESC and receiver.

I've weighted the wheels w/ Airsoft BBs, 6oz's per tire and wheel and adhered the tires to the wheels w/ my favorite Shoe Goo!

Painted the body a combination of Metallic Blue and Blue Streak.

But the FRIGGEN Metallic Blue paint started shooting out blobs and screwed my body job up!

Hence the name, "Da Blue'z Mobil"!

I tried to save it will some Silver and it came out ok I guess.

Other that that, this should be a top notch build when it is finished.



Here are the pics of the rolling chassis and body.

The Shoe Goo holds the tire on the wheels very well.

It is designed to bond plastic and rubber (tires and wheels are made of what?).:lol:

It also cleans up really well when it's time to replace the tires or wheels.

Body turned out OK, but IMO, it would have looked sweet it that Metallic Blue would have sprayed cleanly!:x










I'd be happy to answer any question."thumbsup"

Great job! That's a very clean build. I think the metallic looks pretty cool in globs

It turned out OK, but man it ticked me off when it happened!

I like the way the blue just accents that lower body. Way cool, Dez [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

I'd love to be able to paint half that well. I never did gain much experience with painting plastics.
