Those pics turned out great! Wheels look right at home with that paint job!

Can't wait to see the video!

Oh and I forgot to tell you last week, Happy Birthday!

Excellent color scheme. It adds a lot to the appearance over the RTR color.

Hey thanks Bmow! I guess you can tell what I got myself for the occasion

Thank you! It definitely accents the killer body lines on this body. It's easily one of my favorite RTR bodies, nice lines, good classic look, molded grill, light buckets, front LEDs, and nice decal sheet. I just wish the lexan was a little bit thicker, but for this price point I can't complain.

I've been avoiding all Sendero threads... especially this one. Trying to figure out how much Ramen I'd have to eat before being able to cash in my grocery bucks for Sendero bucks.

Paint looks great as others have said. Rig looks fantastic with that particular two tone scheme and wheels. You've really got a good eye for what works and you just nailed it again.

Going back to lurk in the shadows for now. Cheers!

Not much light in here as it’s 6am out here now, but I’ll have more pics after this morning’s event.

Wow, that is a huge improvement. The stock body has kept me from purchasing one of these, so far.

It’s got some good lines hidden under all that gray!

I was finally able to get the video up from this weekend, not too much technical crawling as usual but tried to get a little bit of all the different trucks I got footage of in there. Good times were had.

Every single video of yours I watch I can’t help but be amazed at how your builds just flat perform. Good work

[smog]

Enjoyable thread TB. I agree with above sentiments, your paint work beautifully compliments the Senduro body lines. Nice selection of pics as well. That ugly looking group of Banditos look to have had a great day (-;

Cool paint job!

Thanks Duke! Really appreciate that. These trucks have their shares of tumbles and fails, those just don’t make the reel.

Well, he's definitely got one of the best looking Enduros using the stock body!

[wheelhaus]

Thats pretty awesome you're able to gather such a big group together, looks like it was a really good time.

[Daycrawler]

You’re Sendero looks awesome. The terrain out there is amazing. We have boulders and more boulders. On the plus side we have lots of shade.

My Sendero is a few days old. What’s wrong with Ramen? Embrace the suck! Enjoy the Ramen and the new Sendero.

Back to page 1 to follow up on this, I should have screen captured it, but one of the Element RC fellas on FB said that the clear body is a thicker lexan than the RTR

Anyone pick up a clear one and can confirm/compare?

I was surprised that they picked my truck, definitely happy about it! Thanks for sharing . For those that don’t have facespace, the banner pic is attached.

thanks Soze!


@ TrailDawg, did you notice any improvements with your rear link risers? nice design.

[durok]

Huh...

How did I miss this build?

(got pointed to it by a comment by DukeMinnix)

Awesome paint, silver grille and chrome 8-hole wheels make it a retro trail rig beyond comparison...

Dang!

[Topher Builds]

Got around to getting the Proline Classic interior installed and it’s a nice fit but also leaves a bit of a gap behind the bench seat and the back of the cab. Nothing too major and a little spare lexan and inside the cab painting could fix.

Also repainted the outside of the body so I can give it a chance to cure properly before trailing again.

I really wanted to find a Fall Guy action figure for the driver but it’s proven to be a difficult task. Still on the hunt. Hopper in the driver’s seat for now.

I despise taking interior pics, but below are the best I could come up with

Hey thanks Durok! I appreciate the kind words. Definitely wanted a classic look and I think this body pulls it off well.
