So - looky me - I got a honcho to ( <- sarcasm)

So heres the build picks that no one wants to see:

heres the body painted - i took another direction on the front headlights then what was available on the "sticker sheet". Thought i would share and see how many people copy it

More pics and tech to come.... maybe even some video at Daniels Park if your good.

And heres a build tip: Get yourself a good hobby knife set ($10 at lowes) and trim your stickers! It will give it such a nicer clean look then having all that clear plastic everywhere.. also - after applying your windows and such - use the exacto knife to remove the clear center sections to clean it up.

Looks more likea danger ranger with those different headlights .....sweet.

Funny thing about the headlights, that's just the way I planned on doing it. So would that mean you coppied me, before hand? Are you psychic???

All kidding aside, I like it.

TwistedXT · 12-28-2009, 02:06 PM

Has anyone else noticed the emense amount of parts left over after the build? Which is cool with me! ive been needing some of that stuff for other builds!

TwistedXT · 12-28-2009, 03:14 PM

on a side note - and this is my opinion - dont do silver on the back - either black or mirror chrome - heres the back with Spaztics Mirror Chrome

TwistedXT · 12-28-2009, 03:15 PM

just be sure to wash the surface and your hands first before painting! anything from finger prints to smudges will transfer through!

Those Honchos look great. I have a SCX10 TR on the back of a UPS truck headed my way as I type as well as a 1980 K10 body for it. Can't wait

rock_krawler · 12-28-2009, 10:58 PM

Did you paint that on the inside or the outside of the body and bed/diamond plate?

d4dawg · 12-29-2009, 07:32 AM

What body color is that? Looks good.

TwistedXT · 12-29-2009, 01:33 PM

the mirror chrom is painted on the bottom and the body is painted from the inside - ill have to check on the color - i believe its called firey orange - brand is unknown at this time.. will find out later

TwistedXT · 12-30-2009, 05:23 PM

Anyone know how to seal this thing for waterproofing?

ive got a spektrum s3000 and the winch controller in there.... some form of water proofing would be nice.

TwistedXT · 12-30-2009, 05:24 PM

and on a side note - the only way ive gotten anything done on this thing is bringing it to work! tomorrow we will be mounting the winch... at work. Then she will be ready to run!

Silicone bead around the edge, and enough to fill the gap. as little as you can get away with if you ever want to open it up again. otherwise you could try closing the box onto a balloon or something like that to seal the edge, maybe a big o-ring and dielectric grease for the gap? Or you could just waterproof everything inside and not worry about it lol
