So i did go ahead and setup rear steer, and it made a HUGE difference in the cornering, + it can be removed in about 30 sec if need be. Guess who got out of paint!!!
I could not be happier with the way it came out. The cleanest RC Paintjob I have EVER seen. Matches my 1:1 perfectly.

Beautiful. That's what I miss about hard bodies, painting on the outside.
Is that a base coat/clear coat?

 

[alpinehyperlite]

It is a 1:1 paint job. So however they do it on real cars, is how its done on the rig.

 

[NCNitro]

Wow! That looks great man! You gonna do a bed liner in it?

 

[alpinehyperlite]

You can't really tell in these pix, but it already has a bedliner done. Its a rubbery paint type stuff they line the states 1:1 truck beds with.

 

[NCNitro]

Well the body really looks great, the truck should look awesome once you get it mounted up with the new wheels too.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

yea, gotta talk to chip bout that n c if he ordered them for me yet. I don't trust eBay or paypal, so he's helpin a brotha out.

 

[NCNitro]

Tower sells them too. I'm with ya on ebay though, it used to be a great place, not so much anymore.

[SMaxxin]

The body looks great, nothing like a nice shiny hard body!

 

[alpinehyperlite]

I finally got the initial build done. Who knows what will come next.




Enjoy

You should get a set of Tundra wheels for it, they would look a little closer to the wheels on your 1:1
