Default Custom Graphics on my mini.... check out the pics

I had someone ask if I could wrap a Losi Mini Rock Crawler today. I went down to the local rc car store and picked up a new Losi Mini Crawler in black. I went straight back to the shop and made templates of all the areas that needed to be wrapped. I am not going to go into how I make templates right now for photoshop.

Anyway... I tossed together a little artwork and printed it on 3M vinyl just like we use for the big rock crawlers. Dont start hating on me for having a stock rc crawler. I just took it out of the box to make the templates. I know... I need to chop on it a little. haha... I was looking around at some of the mods others are making. It has been about a year since I built my last rc crawler and things have changed a lot around here. Hopefully now that we finished the KOH crawler I will have more time to chill and play with the rc.

I will post up more pics after I start chopping the crawler up a little.


Thanks
Dan

tried going to your website, but down for maintenance. do you have other vinyl kits, maybe for the 1:10 grappler body and matching mini grappler body?

I am not a vendor here. I build 1:1 rock crawlers. RC crawlers are just a hobby of mine. I did this wrap because someone asked me to do it. I will check with one of the vendors here and see if they would want me to start making wraps for the ones you mentioned.

The parts on my website are all for full size crawlers.

LOL I had a wrap on my 2.2 before I sold it. They hold up pretty well.

I didnt think about that. I will go ahead and change the way the thread reads until the other post can be made. I am not looking to step in anyone's toes round here.

They're awesome looking! You could definitely make money selling these "skins" or "wraps", but yeah you can't talk about that until you become a star holder or your threads will get deleted faster than you can post them! ;)

I called Carla and told her about all the crack heads coming there. Dude that is crazy. I would have to go off on a couple of them. Funny how all three wanted to act like they didnt know each other. \
