Sure took a long time to blast this whole thing and then paint (3 coats of primer and 3+ coats of Tamiya pure white)

Finally got it back together so now it's time to really get busy!

Here's some pix:

Now that is really interesting and setting it off. Now you have my attention. If RC4WD did this to some of their wheels and chassis kits. It would be a serious seller. Way to do it up brother.

Thanks!

I really thought that white would make it stand out not to mention you can't have a red and black firetruck

Oh man, that looks great!! If I may so bold as to make one suggestion? Would it be possible to sand off the paint from the swept part of the brake discs? I think it would really set it off in a good way.

Rig looks great! Keep it up!

This is the look I'm kinda after. I want to incorporate the RC4WD bumpers which wil make it hard for the front. It will have a full body and opening back for the "fireant" with control center

I can't believe what a difference painting the wheels white made for the overall look of this rig! I think white should be a new optional color for those wheels.

Looking forward to seeing this at RCX.

Just curious, can you move the links inside the chassis and inside the mounts?
