Default Trying to get my gen7 scale.

Redcat gen7...First I had narrowed my fender flares to look more scale. Then made a steel stinger bumper. Thats when it snowballed. I cut the body to a truck cab. Made a bed for it and used my scale accessories. When I do get a different cab later, I will remake my bed floor from aluminum. Right now its thick plastic. Tried my hand at making a grill today as well. Needs some sanding on the ring and paint. What do you all think so far?

Cab looks better then the the SUV body. One of the better looking gen7s I've seen.

The stock body is pretty thin and flimsy. Im most likely going to put a hilux hardbody cab on it. Ive been thinking about stretching the hilux bed for my wheelbase. I may just leave it a truggy. Not sure yet

Will you be moving the servo up onto the chassis for CMS scale-ness?

If I run the new redcat portal axles then I will have no choice but put the servo on the chassis. Im just not sure If I am willing to lose suspension travel.

I had to get rid of the red. I wanted a blue so I did some paint work and changed my shock springs.

Looks good! Did you paint on the inside or the outside?

Did you use brake fluid or something else to get the old paint off?
