It is painted with Rustoleum ivory silk. It was the closest I could find to the original toyota beige without having to dig out the airbrush and custom mix something | |

Man, that's perfect. Would you ever consider selling some vinyls for WPLs? Sent from my U693CL using Tapatalk |

I hvent really put much thought into it. Pretty busy with 2 small kids. If you want to PM me with what you were thinking, I can see what i can do. We have a few feet of snow here, and im still waiting on parts from the slow boat, so I have only been driving this thing inside. My son has been driving my Barrage 1/24 and hes loving it now that we can both drive together. He stripped one of the gears in it too though, so also waiting for them to show up before we do too much more driving. I have ordered the aluminum braces and metal links, but don't like the way any of the aftermarket shocks mount up. From all the pics I've seen, it looks like they use a bolt as a stud with a bunch of nuts as spacers. It also looks like there is some weird angles on the shocks to get them to clear stuff. ive been thinking about making my own shocks, unless someone has found cheap aftermarket ones that arent huge and mount awkwardly. |

How did you cut the chassis? it looks pretty good. I might make my own shocks with the stock springs. Last night i was playing around with some old Losi MRC shocks i had laying around and i figured they were almost perfect and i could just use the stock springs internally, but the more i thought about it, the more i wanted to get the MRC back together as its all completely custom. i had pulled apart the tube chassis i had made so i could work on it, and it has since been lost, so i have a bucket of all the other parts stull sitting there. |

Micro means Hot Wheels size, or 1/32-1/35 or something along those lines to me but I'm not sure about what an official hobby source might call it. Last edited by Undead Jeeper; 01-07-2022 at 03:01 PM. | |
