I spent a lot of time thinking about what to outfit my Maxx with. And after a fair amount of time thinking outside the box, I came up with this:

It's a 200mm HPI Beetle Cup Racer. The main body color is Parma Faskolor Fasescent Yellow. The lightning is fine white paint pen misted in a combination of white/fasescent purple Faskolor.

Here's another look:

Whaddya think?
 
kind of weird looking but neat i can see how it would grow on ya
 
I like it. The fin is cool too. The bottom shot almost looks like its evil and wants to eat you!

I just like bugs because they remind me of a breast.
 
Looks good, did you use the lightening idea from RC hobbies show on DIY? I think I might use that body for my next.:w00t:

Ok, yeah. I used the idea from DIY and also the tear-away idea even though it's not too obvious on this one.
 
Don't worry mj, I got the stickers and I'm going to do a custom body just for them.
