Default Project: Rock Ready XJ



I sold my scaler a few years back and have been itching to build another. Off the the for sale section i went and missed every scx10 chassis posted , till a few weeks ago. Did some horse trading and got a new set of 1.9 satin axial rims and scored a set of 5 new 1.9 Rip Saw's from the for sale. Went to Ebay and got a Honcho bumper , sliders , shocks and Traxxas Revo link's . Picked up a Proline XJ body at the Omaha Hobby Plex...well enough of rambling on here is the look i am going for

went over to Psychomonkey's tonight and he laid down some paint



he made me promise to wait till tomorrow to mount it and add the rack and lights, because i always scratch the paint 5 min's after i leave his house

Maybe look on RPP or similar for some logo decals. They are pretty cheap money and you get plenty for what you need. I have oredered a few sets from them. I think a nice touch would be to paint your suspension links red as well. That is a big trademark for Skyjacker.
