You should skin them with styrene before cutting them. Looks a lot better IMHO. Of course that would mean some sort of repainting, or a lot of masking stuff off.



I hadn't done the fronts yet in this pic.

I got the links/link geometry done along with the shocks. Got the steering done and this ride height is with a big lipo sitting in there. Just needs a motor, esc, and radio to run.
again, crappy pics

Nice work on the paint and tubework. Dont worry about being "late to the game", people are still buying and building the Highlifts.

just wondering if you had any problems with paint sticking to that body I had one made buy the same company but the paint would flake off easily. looks great buy the way. Is that a aluminum frame or some kind of composite.

I just wiped the body down, sprayed a light tacky coat, and went on from there. i used a hair dryer when I got impatient. It is also about 55* or warmer down in the basement too.


this thing is a runner, and everything but the front link mount is paited or powder coated. Few more details to come but I am trying to get the suspension(specifically the shocks) dialed for a gtg this Sunday. Pics in a bit.......
