Exclamation Dutch AX-10 build

So, finally on saterday my AX-10 arrived. R/C parts are hard to get in holland.

anyway, here's some pics:




Wheels with lead (total weight 250 grams per wheel)








Gears loog tough, nice!





Liked the build, nice parts. I'll have to paint the body, thinking of a white/ rusted look.

comments please!

ps. i will ad a video link as soon as it's uploaded on youtube
Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgNjw48bBpY

Nice build! get ready for the fun to start!

To shorten the shocks, just add a 1/2 inch piece of fuel line inside the shock body. You will remove the piston and put the fuel line inside the body, put the piston back in. Add oil, and cap it. You are now done. reinstall and hit the trail.

Default Paint!

I sprayed the body today

The R/C shop was closed so i'll have to wait on weathering sticks to add rust and dirt, but here's my "B-17 Duo Pennotti"




so, whatya think?

Paint the green stuff another color, and that would be sick.

dark grey with black scratches would be nice, but i don't think i can pant that stuff well enough. maybe with a lot of sanding and primer though
