Just a quick thread for pics n such for my new scaler. Will get more pics soon but here are my phone quality pics.

Axial AX10 with the X-trail chassis on droop springs.
All stock for now but custom drilled skid mounted with an RC4WD R2 tranny, dont like stock ax gearing in theirs.

Rolex is sleeping on it again since his is still charging. I really like that Betty's paint job.

x2, this the only betty I like, most people ruin them, id consider the colors on other lids for sure
 
Great shots of one badass rig. I love that body and paint job, I'm a huge fan of WWII aircraft, so it reminds me of the pinup girls they used to put on the nose.

Yeah same here, and just the pinup girl without the b17 betty wording looked better, just dont like the sheen of the decals. The first pic of the bridge is the best imho because of the rivets on the structure + the rigs paint scheme, & thanks, I take so many pictures lol:hehe:
 
You can use a coat of matte clear spray paint to dull down the shine on the "nose art."
 
Here are some pics from my adventures today, this rig is a BEAST on the rocks with the R2 tranny along with the entire setup, very happy

Thanks!
 
Okay heres a quick little video to demonstrate the inclines this rig is capable of, I'm not going to lie this rig is more "dialed" in than my comp ax10 ever was lol.

The video isnt great quality so I apologize for that, but my friend Mike was behind the wheel on this one and did good for his first time on her, well untill the end lol enjoy
