Nice paint jobs on the maxx and rat rod rustler. I like the rust effects!

I assume the knee/shin guard is going to be the e-maxx body? Kind looks like a Road Warrior vehicle.

and almost forgot: Welcome to the forums!

yes it will be the e-max body but i have a lot of cutting out to do, i am going to go for a skeleton look ...kinda like a rib cage and bones... something to that effect.

and thank you for the welcome, i have been over on the traxxas forums trying to help out the little ones but no one wants to listen. lol

I will never look at a Toyota Tercel the same way again!

Welcome to the forums.

its an art car. i was able to be the first in vermont to registered it as "multi" colored

This forum is full of folks who have quit the TRX forums. Posting on the TRX forums is like beating your head against the wall and an utter waste of time. Glad you found RCM.

LOLOLOL! That's an awesome 1:1 car you've got over there! :yipi:

i have a bashing/work mate here - TEDO

What did you pay for that car? (If you want to say it...)

And how many HP motor is in it?

thank you :mdr:, shes actually gone now to the clutches of the junk yard,(that was really hard) my kids cried for like 2 days :cry: i am now driving a black honda with all emblems off and BMW ones put on, my wife wont let me paint his one yet.

its a regular toyota, it took me like 5 years to paint. there are many layers of paint on there all covered up
we bought the car used when we first got married 13 years ago.

I REALLY like that car! :yes: It's so damn sexy!

its the tattoos and piercing (she had like 36 total)

this is where she started, her first paint

Wow, that looks cool! Why did you change it? (Normal people like those paints mostly, I like the last version more :lol:)

i just kept adding to it for 5 years, i did not have any RC at the time and this was my "hobby"
how this for a blower?

Cool paint on the real car!

Well, hi there.

I visit the TRX forums for shits and giggles...
Kind of fun actually
But some guys are actually trying to help, but they just don't listen.. :whistle:

Nice paintjobs!

Specifically the rust job, but, imo, the rust job on the TMaxx looks a lil overboard..

Never really liked old cars, but that's just me, and my stupid self. :party:

i know you form the TRX forums we were talking about the KD motors just yesterday.

i remember the name it sounds like Scooby Doo saying waffles.

tmaxx rust is supposed to be overboard as its 3 or so bodies put together. supposed to look junkyard welded.

How did you make the rust btw?

Great job on the rust work and I love the tercel with the exception of the "blower". It maybe just me and being raised around race cars but I do not like "wannabe performance", now the multi color and piercings are great! I really like the barbell and chain on the rear bumper.

I am looking forward to see what becomes of the shin guard.

the rat rod was hand painted on the inside..

and the maxx was painted on the outside. where ever the paint was thick or chipped or wrinkled is where i put the rust so the rust is as natural of a placement as it can be.

cool thanks, yeah i know about the "wannabe" factor, (like screw on tailpipes) but this is an art car and it is supposed to be over the top.

I would also think the obviousness of the fake blower makes it art and not wannabe. No one that know anything about cars would mistake it for a real blower in my opinion.

thank you, on a side note i probably had my picture taken with the car at least once or twice a month

Yeah schofield, that's how I recognized your name so quick when I checked the forums...

Ah, now that I see it's two bodies put together, it looks cool! :yes::party:

Did you JB Weld it? Or just paint it differently?

HAHA, Scooby Doo. That's funny.

I made the username quite awhile ago, it was one of my universal names, where I used everywhere.

rofl... = Rawfuls

ROFL usually means rolling on floor laughing, so I just said why not.. :neutral:

not JB weld but something similar thats why there is that silver "weld" between the to parts. to make it look getto welded.

sorry about the scooby doo comment i have two daughters that love scooby doo

Haha, the scooby doo comment is cool, I like it, I think I'm gonna have to steal that from you. :whistle::yes::lol:

TBH, I also really DON'T like wannabe performance cars with those "cool" guys in there. But this car looks so damn funny so every idiot knows it's just for the fun and not for the wannabe performance :lol:

EDIT: You aren't an idiot, but I don't know how to say it in other words, my English isnt very good >.<

Nah, I'm an idiot! you nailed that spot on. I appreciate the details that went into the blower, very creative use of parts to make it. I just don't like the blower because I can not get past my gear head raising. ie: I'm an idiot :yes:

The great thing about art though, it is subjective by design.

if my last car got this much talk then my current car should start up quite a stir... Its a HPI Silver dragon series BMW (honda civic)

Good stuff! I must check my gear head, car is mis badged ego at the door and have a laugh! Now you need to convince your wife to let you paint it!

And get started on the brushless conversion so it can be the RC-Monster, HPI, silver Dragon edition BMW :lol:

brushless 1:1 sound fun.. on the wife letting me paint this car, yeah ive tried, not gonna happen at least not like i did before. she said if i make real paint masks and use real automotive paint and sprayer i could. im assuming if i can get approval on the design from her. :rules: funniest part is this is my only HPI vehicle.
