Default a couple bodies...

I figured out how to get the pics from my cell phone to my computer.. here are a few bodies I have done for my brother and myself.


the buggy and the skull body were for my brother and the rustler is my "team body" I also have a 1/16 body for my cen me16mt that is done the same. I still have to do a team body for my XL. enjoy.

Thanks guys. Yeah I was learning a little more about useing my air brush. I got brave and tried a few bodies with something more than just some pin stripeing. Those pics are a bit crappy, But yeah in person they look pretty cool. I enjoy doing up bodies. I used to do model cars when I was younger. at one point I had over 30 models. I loved it. But having a young body and only thinking my models were put away well enough.. a few have met their match. It's to bad cuz I had a lot of really nice cars..

I'm getting the itch again to get a couple more bodies to do.. I don't need anymore.. I just like doing them . Oh well, why not have a collection.

Very nice job on all 3 bodies.
I do a little painting myself but not 1/2 as nice as that.
This one is my fav.

Thanks again guys.. that skull body for my brother is actually NOW a shelf body. It is a little narrow for where the exhaust sits on his truck. I'm kinda glad though..... I don't like seeing the bodies I do get smashed Lol .

I have a new body comeing for my rustler.... Gonna try to fit a pick up body on it.. 1970 ford 100 I think it is.

OH by the way... those tires on the rustler are *****. IMEX all terrain I would advise everybody to skip past those if you are thinking of getting them. They are soft and weak. I put maybe 5 runs on them and tore the side walls right out of the back tires. replaced them with proline dirt hawgs and OH MY! I think I'll like them.

+100 on the Dirt Hawgs!!!
I run them exclusively on my RC10GT and it pulls wheelies on pavement.
Awesome all around bashing tires - excellent traction on all surfaces.
VERY long wearing as well.
Have never tried them on a 4X4 monster truck but they have got to rock!

I can't decide if I'm going for the Hawgs or Big Joes when I get some cash to replace the Terra Pins...

They make them for the savage?? I'll have to go see. they'd probably be great for racing?!? The ones I have are 30 series. Nice low profile. Not alot of side roll. Although I only put two tanks on them last night. But I was even getting good traction in the grass. My HPI ground assaults did not get traction at all in the grass.

[hr]

EDIT! Hmmm the 40 series dirt hawgs are discontinued...[link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEWT1&P=7]dirt hawgs[/link]

Just hope they aren't discontinued by the time I get some spare cash.

Never know though, ebay may have some left overs somewhere. If you do happen to find some 40/ dirt hawgs.. let me know how you like them for sure. Going off of what my rusty does, I bet they'd be wild. They were hooking up pretty good on the lawn. I'm surprised.
