The body is clear so it's yet to be painted. It is also trimmed which is nice but it has cut outs for the engine head and such which are a bit unfortunate. I'm not much of a painter so I'm going to let a young guy at my local track spray them. Colors will be bright b/c there have been a few races which spill into the night and seeing is better than not seeing. I'm waiting on a 2.0e buggy too so I won't get it painted till that starts shipping.

As far as the dremel bit goes, if you use the metal spur there would have been no real problems. I chose to use the new Losi 45T plastic spur which is quite a bit wider than the steel spur. It rubbed - quite bad - against the RCM mount. I would spin it and see where it touched, then I hit it with a sanding wheel. I kept doing this what seemed like 10-15 times in an effort to take off as little as possible. I also had to hit what I'd call the "D Loop" section b/c it was touching the battery tray - that was super minor as the tray is plastic and it just bent ever so slightly on the velcro loop but I my whole goal here was something very finished. FWIW I've read elsewhere that even the Losi mount has a small amount of spur rub when using the plastic spur.

Oddly I went with the RCM mount because I've got a Tekno Neu and it's not easy or perhaps even possible to re-tap them 4mm. The Losi Mount uses 4mm. The RCM is designed for 3mm. I'd imagine you can use 4mm but I doubt it would ride in the little track designed for the motor mount screws. It would likely be on top of the track, very minor but some work would be required.
