Thanks for the positive feedback guys. The paint job was my 5th attempt at painting. I borrowed a nice Iwata and am still trying to learn how to handle it. I thought I would experiment with a few different techniques on the
Proline Nitro Rustler body and also pay tribute to this forum in some way. I still have a lot to learn.
The body isn't an exact fit as I did have to trim the top loop off the front bumper. It also looks like I'll need th trim a little more off the wheel wells to accommodate the extra wide
30 series Pro-line bowties. The folks at
Impakt RC recommended them to go along with the
Traxxas Jato wheels. Great suggestion on their part.
The motor is a Feigao 8L (3072kv) running a 13T pinion on 3S. This is what I was last racing with the stock chassis and the buggy tires. The larger diameter tires should take it up a notch. I'm going to see if I can get it out for a test drive and some video today.
