Heres what my extra MSR body looked like before i stripped it.

Then I stripped it with ELO and every spec of paint came off :thumbsup: All the marks are scratches, not paint.

Finally, I put saran wrap on the outside of the body, and drew my design. I decided to replicate a body I saw on ebay with a few changes. I'm running those new "invisi-rims" :hehe:

Tell me what you think :) Its my new race scheme. I did the heavy shadows on purpose, btw.


Info on how I stripped my body can be found here: https://www.rcnitrotalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41750

Zandor's body on the way!

Looks good. Stripping paint is no easy deal. It came out nice. One thing, though. You might want to check your wheels. Something tells me they won't run well like that...:ponder2:
 
yeah, looks almost like a pre-painted body. i agree, that tire setup isnt gonna get you too far..
 
Aren't those the new spokeless wheels?


Nice job on the repaint!
 
Thanks guys :D I know its not my greatest paintjob, but its a fast, cool looking one.

I ran out of RCNT decals :(

since ya donated, youll have some coming! (pm me your addy and which ones you want)

I gotta get some of the ELO. I have lids laying around I could redo. I really like the shading you did on the flames, the fade of yellow to the orange. Looks real natural. Nice work.
