Thanks, I painted the inside with the beige and black and the exterior with Spaz Stix Matte finish. Plenty more detailing and add-ones to come.

It's a shame although not possible with the stock scx shock position the bed wasn't more inset.....it really does look the business though... I can't wait for the UK hobby shops to get them in! It's a muSt have for me

Is it me or I find that the front wheels are still a bit to far? I friend of mine got one as well...and it's direct fit on his Dingo...

[Smonkman]

Yeah, the front wheels definitely aren't centre in the wheel wells.

How did you or are you going to mount the body?

I'm sure you could do a drop bed if you got inventive. There's a couple different options to relocate the rear shocks.

I have the body on my JK Unlimited chassis the Deadbolt should be here tomorrow.

There not centered I just wanted to see how it would look with it sitting on a chassis.

I have not mounted it yet. I did Velcro on the last JK Unlimited body I painted. I will probably try the same thing on this. I've grown to hate body posts sticking through a custom scale body. I test fitted a G6 Jeep interior I cut out and for some reason kept, it fit really well I'm just not sure how to durably connect it to the main body. Shoe goo?

[VTHokie]

Any ideas how to mount this so I can use a Velcro style mount?

[AngelowDoom]

Glue in lexan tabs to fit over the existing screw holes, and screw it ;) Use Shoe goo to glue lexan, it is very good to use on lexan.

[snapon boy]

When I mounted my interior in my blizzard I used yellow drywall tape and sho glue it's held for 2 years now.

[VTHokie]

Sounds like I need to pick up some Shoe Goo. Thanks for the input.

[snapon boy]

It's not pretty but it works you can paint over it after a few days.

Got er out for the maiden voyage. My daughter actually piloted it today and gave it some trail carnage. Sparked a lot of interest with the two crawl clubs we were out with.

direct fit on the deadbolt?

[VTHokie]

The Deadbolt chassis was still a little too long. I added 100mm King shocks and shorter lower links to fix my driveshaft angles and that helped the body sit perfect on the chassis.

I wondering if Krylon is the same type of paint that your using. I've been using Krylon paint on some of my rigs some work and some don't I fine that the gloss sticks less then the matted or flat colors.in other word flat or,matted works better then gloss.....Maybe i should sand if i use gloss never tried that....

pics of the yeti just only maybe 6 runs
and wraith top flat green lots of runs even the side panels not peeling....

[VTHokie]

I just grabbed some Valspar spray paint from Lowe's. It said works on plastic so I figured I would give it a try. I've heard of people using Krylon Fusion with good success, not sure if that's the same paint your using. The paint I have is a satin finish.

[rustneversleeps]

This is what i used yellow"Krylon Colormaster"not so good on plastic at least for me.Maybe if I try sanding the lexan it may stick better..but on aluminum it sticks real good test sample.But on the green roof I used Satin green Krylon Fusion with no sanding..

[Dextroyer]

Tan is definitely a good color on these! I was asked to do emerald green and tan for a good buddy and I think it looks good. I now want to do four more and make them into ninja turtles.

[VTHokie]

Looking good!!! I'm looking forward to see what everyone comes up with for color combos. Definitely a fun body to have.

[The Dark Knight]

Nice work on that Mighty FC!

Which interior have you used for it?

Have you thought about using Dingo fender flares? They look similar in size?
