Arrow H3-t!!

After seeing exesivefire's 24 hour H3 build I couldn't help building one myself. And if you've read that thread at all, there was talk of a slant back H3 and a H3 truck so I knew I couldn't go either of those routes. So...TOPLESS H3 here I come!

I traded some parts and worked out a deal with Nick (spyderwebbcustoms) to build the cage for me. He's got the body/interior now and will be starting on the cage sometime next week.

Here are the specs so far:

Axial SCX10 (rtr)
Axial wheels with flat irons
VXL
RRP trans gears
Hand Bros CMS
stock Axial alum links, radio, and servo (for now)

and ignore the paint...I'm going to have to strip it and repaint when I get it back from Nick.

I was originally gonna go with a flat black but after seeing the finished pics I might do the fenders and cage flat black and do the rest of the body in white...not completely sure yet.

Suggestions?

I think a Satin Black for the body, and a dark titanium grey for the cage would look sharp.

Yeah that would look awesome. It would look stealthy.

Thanks guys! Although, don't forget - Nick (spyderwebbcustoms) built the cage so if you need any work done, give him a shout!
