Some BL Revo 3.3 Eye Candy (Pics of my Revo)...

[Chadworkz]

For some reason, I decided to remove the overspray film and apply the decals & stickers to the clear body, and now I really like it clear, so I decided to take it outside for some "Night-Time in the Grass" shots of the truck! It will eventually get some paint, but I am going to run it like this for a while! Let me know if you would like to know what all is done to the truck, because the upgrade/modification list is EXTENSIVE!

The blue tribal ones are XXXMAIN Internal Graphics...the Silver Carbon-Fiber on the lower rear rocker-panels is actually regular external dark carbon-fiber decals applied on the inside of the body so you can see the backside (adhesive side) of it...the dark carbon-fiber on the rear deck (bed) and rear upper side bed panels (roll-bar area) is regular dark carbon-fiber external decals. All the rest are just external stickers and decals from all of the various upgrades/parts on the truck.

The paint-scheme is going to be very simple...the areas in front of and below the blue tribal internal decal is going to fade from metallic charcoal gray in the very front to metallic silver back to the silver carbon-fiber internal decal. The areas behind and above the blue tribal internal decal is going to be pure white. The rear deck (bed), bed sides under the roll-bar, number-plates, and roll-bar are going to be pure black. The black will make the carbon-fiber external decals on the rear deck and deck sides *pop* and stand out nicely. And finally, the windows are going to be tinted...enough to be dark, but not so dark that you can't see through them. I think I am going to make them about as dark as 15% would be on a real 1:1 vehicle.

All paints used will be Faskolor, and sprayed through Master Airbrush Systems "G" and "S" series guns.

I'm really digging that body, I actually like it clear. I wouldn't even paint it! LOL What setup do you have? It looks a lot like mine.

sweet... does hardcore make a skidplate for the 3.3?

[Chadworkz]

Yes they do/did...since my truck is a 3.3, and all I had was the HCR 2.5 length skid, I had to cut it into two pieces to make it fit. What sucks, though, is less than a week after I cut the 2.5 skid, I won a 3.3 skid that would have bolted right on, haha! Oh well. The 2.5 skid I am running is a silver 2.5mm version, which was the most common thickness...the 3.3 version I have is the ultra-rare 2mm version, and even more rare 2mm 3.3 version! So, because of that, I am not going to run it, since it is worth a mint NIP!

Welcome to the no-paint revolution! I don't paint my shells either, but not because I particularly like them that way, but because I wreck them too fast to spend that much time painting them.

Nice truck BTW

[Muggydude]

Looks great, almost exactly the same as mine, with a few differences. Quick Q: How do you like the tranny locked in 2nd without the mechanical brakes? did you ever have the mechanical brakes and how does it compare? (Also, what gearing do you have on it?) I'm trying to decide if I should switch my Tranny into second instead of the 2 speed.

Wow.. Nice Revo convert. Do you have a Item-No on that Harddrive body from PL? Want it on my E-Revo ;)
