Looks great man, I like that body.

I feel your pain about no hobby shop, closest one to me is 2.5 to 3 hours away.

Sweet lookin rig! I love the exo."thumbsup" I wanted to put a metal one on mine but still haven't had time to figure out how. If you wanna see the thread of my NB H3 with the lights in it it's http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/paint-body/107115-some-pics-my-h3-leds.html. It's not a 1/6 but thought you might like to see it.:)

that thing looks sick!!!! awsome job!

damn, that looks good. Same problem with me and a hobby shop, 2 1/2 hours away :(

What did you use for the exoskeleton?
I know you said plastic but what is it? and where did you get it?

in all honesty... youd be surprised how many guys here are still running thier nylints... ive got 2 up on the shelf.. break em out every now and then!

Excelent work on the tube and body work. "thumbsup"

Best looking Nylint I've seen so far and no flame cause at least youv'e put some fabrication work into it. Heck my first crawler was a radio shack monster patrol with a big cordless drill motor. Keep up the good work.

Hey Shaggy5050,
The plastic rod is actually your basic hardware/dollar store variety coat hanger. Some sold is solid while others are variably hollow(which allows for easy centering of the screw when fastening). I tried a few different glues, but in the end found hot-melt glue to work the best, just hard to get a smooth surface to mimic a weld(used my wood burner with the smoothing tip). I was hoping to dye the whole thing black, but the plastic wouldn't take the dye in the way regular plastic does. So I had to resort to painting. Again, not the best I found. The plastic must be a strange kind because the Krylon Fusion paint did not like to stick until I roughened the surface....Anyone have any suggestions on painting weird plastics?
