the wife's doved Yota(bubblegum)

[maddmatt11]

heres the yota i've been working on since last year, she always like driving my slash and wraith, but finally got her into scaling, and even taking part in the last 3 comps in our local group, which she even beat me a few times, axial scx10 dingo kit, its got all axial running gear, spektrum 6020 mg servo, ae2 esc castle BEC, axial 20 turn motor, rc4wd punisher shafts, ordered some 1.9 iroks that will be on it for next season, and a pink and black paint scheme,custom tubework from fordguy, and dove and bobbing work on the bed by Killer K

[old man 52]

[maddmatt11]

Looks good. Is it going to go back to pink? I think it would look good. My daughter wants her wraith in pink.

[maddmatt11]

yeah going with a pink pearl blended with some light purple, so when the sun hits it the color changes at different angles.not sure of the paint name but its like 40 bux a can

[KryptoniteKummins]

That's pretty cool, i wish my gf was into rc's. she drove my slash once and said take it away i'll break it lol

[CamposZac96x]

my wife wants to get into but doesn't kno what rig she wants

[19_mustang_96]

Nice

[Joe$]

I hope that's not $40 for a 100ml can. If so damn. I used $40 worth or more in $7 100ml cans on my last paint job.

[maddmatt11]

haha, no its custom made paint at a body shop not sure on the amount but the can is about the size of a12 oz pop can,im thinkink two cans, so thats why i asked her 3 times are you sure u want that color...... she said who cares if it gets scratched( me getting ready to blow my brains out) ok hone love you, kiss kiss haha. how i got my wife into rcs finally was letting her drive my 1.9 scalers, ive raced slashs for the last two years and she never even had interest until in the damn things, until she seen how she could help in the scalers by painting, making scale items etc, then i just built her a rig from scratch, and told her anything she wanted on it and it would be done,so now i have to see my wife drive a better lookin rig than mine lol(jealous)

[Joe$]

It's all good though. Happy wife happy life

I should soon have enough scalers for the whole family. Maybe then my wife will go with me and the kids more often.

[maddmatt11]

rhino lining the bed as i type lol,then it will be on to the pink paint job, will post pics when the final paint on the whole rig is done

[Joe$]

What are you using for rhino liner? I used plastydip.

[mjc597]

i've used the textured paint from krylon before for things like bedliners, and fender flares..think it comes in fine, and rough finish..and different colors also..

[Joe$]

Same for the plastidip too I had to apply the texture though. But it wasn't hard.

[maddmatt11]
