Ok, cool, use this body to bash around hard and when christmas comes along ask for your own power tool. if not ask your dad to use his.

Heh My very first body was the one that comes in the rc10 GT kit (the old kit not the newer kit that has the F-150) and when I went to go paint it, nobody told me that you had to paint it on the inside. Naturally, after I was done, I had a very hazey white body. I was still proud even though it looked like crap on wheels!!![sm=lol.gif]

its good for a first body. my first was just a simple pearl blue hummer body for my old maxx which i backed with indy silver. next time try and make a simple but effective paintjob, those will get the best results with least experience. this was my second body and i did a simple blue paintjob again but with white trim on the edges with i think 1/2" wide masking tape. i was feeling lazy and didnt want to cut a real complicated design for my first 2 tone body
