(I just got the kit last week thats why its so clean) Built the aluminum panels and still have to do the boat sides and all the inner fenders, mount the rear panel, put lights in ect..........



But just wanted to see what you guys think and get your opinion on if i should sticker this bi%#h up, or leave here naked:lmao:

Any advice is welcome i mess around a lot with sporty stuff but i knew i had to get a wraith to bash with:twisted:

Thanks!!! any advice is welcome

very nice body panels man that would be a hard choice seeing that it is so nice. sorry i cant say on this one...

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

I wonder if anybody has tried clear contact paper to protect those pretty panels?

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

Wow, now thats nice to see a full metal body.
Do it up how you think is best. in the end you should be the one who is happy.

Im liking it for sure."thumbsup"
Needs some team3six and MaddogRC love.;-)

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

only thing i think would work with being covered is if i got some thin polycarbonate and more or less duplicated the skins and thru bolted them over the alu. i donno

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

thanks:ror:

She has a long long road ahead till im happy with it 8)

Yes!
 

I like stickers :mrgreen:

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

Damn, that's some nice panel work!

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

Put a few stickers on it! It looks too plain jane for me but that is just me. I love the panels and wish I had some ;)

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

Tough call...looks so nice the way it sets.

I say drive and show it the way it is until you start to get bored with it.

Then add some color on it....

When you get bored again add some decals, but not sponsor themed.... Too many people are doing them sponsor themed. Just my $.02

Nice build"thumbsup"

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

thanks guys!


Oh and what do you think about the hood? im luke warm........does it need some sort of a scoop, cowl or something? (nothing big something sutle)
Like a yj hood. what would you guys like to see? building it isnt a problem just tossing around ideas

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

A subtle intake would be pretty cool... especially custom. "thumbsup"

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

like forward facing "pro stock" style? or rear induction cowl style? or some sort of body lines? Im looking to do something not seen yet on a wraith but still fits the "theme"

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

I usually sticker the crap out of my bodies, but they are also lexan and easy to replace. Those metal panels are too pretty to cover up, IMO.

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

Thanks:ror:

I say give it a hint of color and clear coat it. Keep it nice and clean. As for the hood, maybe some lines or a cowl slightly taller than a normal lexan hood or just some lines to give it some definition. Also how much for one of them sweet hoods?

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

yea i think im gonna go with some sort of cowl hood on it. all the panels are made from .050 alu. started building a second hood tonight to try a few things8)

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

That looks great as is!

but, a little on the plain side.. but, I think you can do something other than stickers to fix that.

keep it clean!"thumbsup"

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

def, run sponsors. i think i looks too boring IMO. unless you get like colours beadlocks and stuff."thumbsup"

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

i know what im gonnna do! might still add a few minor stickers somewhere but no color on the panels! here is a few teaser panels while i work on the rest of em8)

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

Thats a great look.
Stickers or not, theres no wrong answer.

If you're anything like me, you'll end up doing both at some point...

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

i do wraps, and i wouldn't even put stickers on those panels! haha

bad ass...any more pix?

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

knowing me ill just one day take all these off and just build a new set for no apparent reason at all. and those that know me know it will be sooner than later....:lmao:

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

sponsors

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

Man those are some sweet panels. How did you contour the hood. I think you should do one stickered up and one without.

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

how much for a hood? can you do one that will allow a lowered shock set-up to poke through? maybe one with a cowl induction scoop?

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

1day, shooter wouldn't be able to quote a price. He isn't a vendor, though with skills like that he should be.

Rules are pretty clear on that stuff.

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

Yep no sales for me till I get enough interest to buy a vendor star




Or you choose to pay with new trident layers gum!:lmao:

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

I think it could use some racing stripes.

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

two quick ones with the phone

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

Damn thats nice! i was wondering if you grained them or if it was actual contours to the body panels. "thumbsup"

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

I prefer minimal sponsor/ad type stickers on all my RC.

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

Ya all panels are grained and or polished. Looks crazy outside in the sun! The light really makes it hard to photograph. I'll take some better ones. Gonna grain a few other things into it as well8)

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

Beautiful. What thickness is the aluminium?

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

I like naked myself. When you get ready to sell some panels - PM me.

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

Everything is .050. There is a electronics box under the back that is all sealed and then I made another rear panel for non water related excursions that has a fan mounted on it to cool the esc.

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

I am thinkin off puttin a Holmes sticker on mine. I have a Holmes speedo and Motor combo. Marbe a Vanquish sticker to. Its your ride though. My usual stance on stickers is if they arent sponsoring you. Why feel the need to sponsor them. The day Robinson starts paying for my gears is the day I use their sticker.

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

That is sick. If interest is what you need then consider me interested!

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

you should definately get a vendor star....very nice"thumbsup"

Re: Should i run sponsors or leave her naked????
 

Yeah i would just park that one and build one to drive. Great looking body work. You could get some 3m paint guard and have it put on the panels. I think its about 3mills thick and you can bend it and see through it. Its main use is for hood edges and such on cars.
