The color is actually copper but it looks orangy with that background, thanks for the comments, I'll add better pics in better light when I get more done!

I think I'm done painting. It's a love hate thing for me, I like getting it done and seeing what it will look like, but I'm so impatient! I have a ton of flaws around the wheel flares and I had some tape lift and allow spray onto the outside of the hood,,, uggh!

The after run video:
Demo's scale scx10 after run thoughts / review with upgrades and shakedown - YouTube

I want to add fender wells, I just swapped my 21 tooth pinion for a 14 tooth. Hehe, how slow can you go!!!
What do you guys use to seal the vent holes in the tires? I figure silicone glue or hot glue, I just don't want to fill my tires up with water when running creeks.
I'm also bought some neverwet to give me some splash protection since in the video nothing was protected. I'll let u lads know how it goes

I haven't heard of that or tried it. Does it work? My vents are on my tires not on the wheel/rim.
I suppose it would work as Long as I superglued the set screw in

That looks great! What are the dimensions of that interior? I've wanted to put one in my f100 body for a while

Th width is 1/2" narrower on either side. I'll measure what I have next time I can. I did have to trim the footwell a lot because they were hitting the cross mounted battery. The center console cradles the spur gear and has about 1/8"(my tranny is mirrored so spur towards the rear of the vehicle) clearance.
I came up with a non permanent mounting. I took two rubberbands and held I in place. They tie onto the esc and receiver box shelves on either side of the tranny. I was racking my brain last night but this seems to work great!
The only thing I don't like is that the pinion/spur gear sounds much higher pitched and a bit louder- I can live with it though.
I didn't realize the wraith seats are so heavy! I may have to weight my wheels finally...

Finally got a review video of the wraith interior in place. Demo's SCX10 Scale 73 Bronco build Log #2 New Bumpers and Wraith Interior - YouTube I still may mount the interior int the body, unsure how to at this point.
Thanks to Hillbillycrawler for the JK bumpers- call the vet, cause this puppy looks SICK!
