I received this killer box from RPP Hobby on Tuesday!

Why would you listen to HIM? I'll bet HE'S the one who broke the seals just to rummage around in there.

Then why were the directions covering your face today while you were taking your between-naps-nap, @Rolex?

 

[SMaxxin]

I should have known you clowns had something to do with the open box!

Nice lets see some of the build.

Axles built

It's running!

This is the third time I try to paint an orange body lol

 

[Rolex]

Super! What tires are they? I'm thinking of changing the look on my big HummVee.

 

[griff7373]

well that was quick nice red body LOL

 

[Rolex]

LMAO!
Yeah, nice new look for "Orange".

 

[SMaxxin]

The last orange body I painted came out brown LOL

Rolex what size tires are on the Humvee? These are 1.9 Axial Maxxis Trepadors

So red is the "new" orange?

 

[SMaxxin]

I used Spaz Stix Candy Orange. it looked great until the third coat, that's when I noticed it looked red...I hadn't even backed it yet and it was red!

 

[hamz9561]

So red IS the new orange... lol

Spaz Stix does need very light coats and 2 is all that you really need.

I'll check out that style. HummVee has 2.2.

Yes, and orange is the new brown.

I think they would be a little small on the HumVee, these might be a better fit

Thanks for that info, @SMaxxin but I'll have to do some measuring. The tire diameter and tread width is almost at critical mass.

 

[SMaxxin]

I finally had time to finish putting the body together, it's not what I wanted but I've done worst. I'll update as I do mods to it or until I sell it lol.

 

[griff7373]

Looking good

 

[NCNitro]

I love it! It looks great, nice job Pete.

 

[hamz9561]

I guess that "red" is the new orange after all. Looks good though.
