Fordsuperduty's p40 boxer build

[fordsuperduty]

I haven't been on the comp scene very long and what I had as a comp rig was at best mediocre. So after our February comp where I met Barry and the Boxer chassis. I decided to pull the trigger on a full shafty build.

Not being used to the actual comp scene ( I've always been a scale builder) I had to lean very hard on Barry's knowledge and guidance. We had a comp the 3-8-14 and this rig wasn't finished until 2am that morning.
All I can say is what an amazing chassis. I finished 10th which for me was a great achievement. I'll post pics shortly but I wanted to go ahead and thank Barry (ClassiCutCustoms), cliff, baldy, and slick for being supportive and helpful.

Thanks man. I've started mixing paint to get the perfect od green tint. Then it's on to airbrushing my first multi color paint job.

and that was almost a weird moment there glad you clarified.

Looking forward to seeing your paint job. Knowing cliff things will get a lot weirder before this build is over.

I see you have a puller for a motor but what ESC are you running. That is some big wire on that dude.

[fordsuperduty]

Esc is a br mini I just used some deans wire I had laying around.

Started on my paint job tonight my masking isn't the best but I've got the first color on

Side

Should look similar to this when finished

[cliff1119]

Make sure the wings aint to wide that will make it tough as hell going thru gates, but with the blade on the front it'll keep electronics cool....

[fordsuperduty]

nah i'm gonna have it set up to fly over the gates, shouldnt have to worry about the time limits that way.

[fordsuperduty]

Got a little of my paint job finished

All I like is the red and the white for the stars, teeth and mouth.

[obebaldone1]

Looking good man.

[cliff1119]

Looking good can't wait to see it

[fordsuperduty]

Thanks guys. I can't wait to get some rock rash on it and give it some character.

[cliff1119]

Rock rash ur suppose to be good enough to keep it on its tires so once u figure that out let me know how lol...

[fordsuperduty]

Yeah in a perfect world we wouldn't scratch anything would we

[fordsuperduty]

Painted my outer beadlock rings last night with spaz stix mirror chrome and I can say is amazing.

If you look you can see my iphone in the bottom left ring.

[fordsuperduty]

Final paint finished and ready to trim our and mount.

It isn't perfect by far but I don't think it looks to bad here's the hood and back deck.

Ok Guys I fixed the pictures in the last post.

[obebaldone1]

Looks nice man. Im not a big fan of all the stickers down the back on that paint job. To cool and clean for that. But that's just my opinion and we all know the saying on that. Now lets see some pictures of them wheels and body all mounted up on that dog!!
