AGAIN! A HUGE THANK YOU TO NCNITRO FOR PAINTING THIS TERRIFIC LID!
 
That looks awesome. I like the way SB is clinging to the front. It's awesome work.
 
Olds I think I see V-Spec on the engine.

Looks great Monkey!

Nice job with the painting to NCNITRO!
 
Yup thats a V-Spec.

Nice rig monkey...its almost as good as mine...LOL

That lid is kick ass.
 
Wow... that lid is sweet! Nice job NC, and looking good mounted to that Mugen MW!

Mill is an OS VZB V-Spec with a Power Racing Y1-053 pipe (soon to be replaced by a Jammin' JP-3)

Throttle servo is a Hitec 5925. Steering is a Hitec 6965.

Spektrum radio set-up.

Stocker Crimefighters for now. Looking to get a set of Hole Shots or Cubix here shortly.
 
My apologies, AC. Wasn't trying to come across as "my truck is better than yours", my man! Just listing what I have in it.

Trust me, thing could have a jet engine and laser guided steering, I'd still be doing the the "shiny side slide", just faster!

The lid is killer and won't be raced for quite some time!
 
Sweet rig.
Sweet paintjob. :thumbup:

What did the little monkey's think of the paint job?
 
My apologies, AC. Wasn't trying to come across as "my truck is better than yours", my man! Just listing what I have in it.
I was just kidding monkey I know you weren't. I love these Mugen trucks, much better than the LSP I had. Good luck with breaking in that V-Spec, I hear they can be a pain.
 
The Little Chimps think it's the coolest thing....EVER! My 4 year old daughter, especially! Truth be told, I asked NC to paint this as a sort of homage to my son and daughter because it was their idea to paint SpongeBob on the lid. Problem is, Pappa Monkey has very, very limited painting skills so I asked NC if he'd help me out. At first, NC thought I was full of it, but when I told him that he was free to to do with it as he wished, so long as SpongeBob was in it, well, the man delivered more than I had ever anticipated.

I'm sure Joe is sick of hearing it, but I cannot thank him enough for the terrific paint job! This is one that will be saved for my first A-main!

I'm going to try and get some better shots to submit to XRC and RCCA as well! The world has to see this paint job, in my opinion!
 
You have seen my painting. Not much artistic capability at all. Lucky to be able to paint one color.

That should make it in a mag easy.
 
I think you should've had him paint the bottom of the chassis! Since that's the side we see more....










Kiddin man, looks great. Hey just a heads up. Egg shape the body holes to relieve stress on the body from flex. Also, I still see the prospec braces in there, use the non-prospec plastic ones, their more consistent and help with the flex.
