Default Not Crawlers, Dirt Track Modifieds...

Since I'm not a part of any other RC communities I figured I should post these up here. I made a couple Modified dirt track race car bodies for a friend of mine's nitro cars. I designed 1:1 wrap on the red car (driver is a customer of mine) and my friend designed the black car's 1:1 wrap (the car he himself drives). I scaled everything down and printed these for these bodies I'm also the photographer. Anyways, so I've just gotten deep into RC cars... These are the first two bodies I've ever cut and painted.

So here are the bodies, and their respective 1:1 counterparts...

Everything was produced by me, wraps on the race cars, wraps on the scale bodies, and the photographs. I do this kind of work in the real world on big stuff.

The wrap on the 31t car was designed and printed by a friend of mine, we do the same kind of work. I just made a scale version of his design. Bodies are for a friend of ours' nitro cars.

It's a gift essentially for a large customer of mine... They're really not cost effective to do anything on a custom basis...

Cool, I'm surprised there are no better options out there.

Nice...very clean looking I've seen other wraps for R/Cs before but none of them looked right there were always gaps between the different panels or the skin/wrap didn't form properly over certain lines in the body...but these ones are inf*ckingcredible! I had to take a good look to see where the edges of the skin...still can't find a couple of them..Lol

Nice work
