Default It's all about the green!

Finally got my Savage 25 done. X ss diff's, Tsais rear pipe, Axail .28, heavy duty drive cups and dog bones in the middle. X suspesion arms, and uppers, X radio box. Alum shock towers and tank protector. I think the cage was a RC Haven or Raven. We chopped up the rear to work around the Tsais pipe, and did alot of modifying to fit under the digger body and also added the body mounts and extra bracing to make it more durable. Also, the plastic parts were scuffed, sealed with Dupont Chromapriemer sealer with flex add, and topcoated with Dupont Imron 5000 High Solids. The aluminum was sanded, Dupont epoxy primer, and topcoated with Imron 5000 also. The flames on the body were hand masked.

One of my other hobbies is airbrushing/painting cars, motorcycles, etc. So I did it like you would paint a real car. (other than the body, spray painted the black, airbrushed the green flames). Used my Devilbiss mini hvlp spray gun.
