My stock servo horn lasted half a pack before it striped out using the Vp stuff. No more flex in the links so it all went to the cheap horn, and that was that. Replaced it with an Aluminum one and it works great.

I really like the clean red look. I'm thinkin the black blatterry cover could be attached with velcro and a "living" hinge pair in the air plane aisle.
Paint a white tank top on him. Then you have my approval.

Red looks good, I keep seeing people painting the stock panels, I don't think I can wait any longer for the clear panels to come. Going to get paint!!

I painted it silver first then red. Looks cool when It gets some scratches. Looks like trail damage. The flat color looks more realistic, than colors under the clear lexan panels I think. Good luck with your paint job. Post some pics when your done with it.

I agree. Flat paint makes it look extra nice, and I like your idea of a silver base layer to be revealed as the rig gets scratched

Nice! I like the cover!

I've been holding off painting my body panels.........when I get the lexan replacements, I'm going to paint the back side a mix of silver and "rust", and then paint the outside a flat color. And when I get scratches, it will appear like scratched metal.

Baked the rims and tires in the oven(Harleys Idea). Then took the tires off the stock rims and mounted them on some Axial Beadlocks. Put them on My Bronco lovin how that turned out. 5.5's and no rubbing.
