SCX24 - Deadbox

[WickedFog]

The Eco Power servo is pretty badass!

Steering links installed too.

Well, she is ready for paint. I didn't even have to clearance the wheel arches. They barely clear, but works perfectly.

 

[Doom!]

This is gonna be so wicked cool!

 

[WickedFog]

This is gonna be so wicked cool!

Yeah, I think so. It is going together so well I am kinda scared

@Xraycer and @Doom! - If you guys haven't tried the Trail Kings from littleguyracingparts.com yet you really should grab a set. These things are supple and super sticky. I think I like these better than the Slingers. They are a lot softer.

 

[Tunedfrog]

That is bad ass bro.
Are you painting or leaving it white?

It will be painted red and black, possibly with some bullet holes everywhere.

 

[Tunedfrog]

Looking forward to seeing it.

I will have to give them a try when I get out of the hole again. This was a brutal month on the budget. They look great.

 

[WickedFog]

Oh, hell. I just found out the rope bridge I made is too narrow for these reversed wheels and the hubs. Now I have to build a 1/27 scale course and get a couple Kyosho Mini Z's

A-Team!

 

[WickedFog]

A-Team!

Nope. It will be the D-Team

I don't rush my paint jobs. So it may be a bit before it is painted. Still thinking on a design.

 

[WickedFog]

Haha this is some bull****, y'all getta go out, buy a plastic model and mount it up, haha !! I love the van body too man, did it mount up pretty easy to it?

Keep it goin man, got my attention for sure

Oh, I just noticed something on this. On the Deadbolt chassis, this van body sits a bit rearward on the chassis to line up with the wheels. But on the C10 chassis, with the van over the wheels, the chassis is a lot more even with the body front to rear. But I like the way it fits on the Deadbolt chassis with the frame rails sticking out the front a bit.

 

[WickedFog]

Decided to go ahead and whip up an adjustable paint stand for 1/24 scale bodies. I need to model up some covers to protect the spots where the stands aren't being used, but it works great.

 

[WickedFog]

Had to remove a little material from the mounting tabs of the Ecopower servo to keep them from getting caught on the edges of the frame rails. Basically just sanded the top corners down a bit.

 

[Doom!]

Put that paint stand on a lazy susan and it will be perfect.

I have a lazy susan in my booth.

 

[WickedFog]

So, I printed a new grille, and need opinions. Should I just use this and ditch the guns? Still need to clean it up of course.

Or should I print this?

 

[Doom!]

The guns are a little too comic bookish for me, but maybe that's what it needs. I like it clean, but then again I'm not a huge Deadpool fan. Don't know how much you want to keep it in character.
