Rail:

I have lexan panels but could also cut aluminum for the panels. The aluminum is polished.

I was thinking Chrome Cage with Blue Panels? Maybe Copper cage with black panels?

I'm inspired by the Xray T3, copper frame with black panels?

Thanks for your opinions. Spraying tomorrow!

Copper and black would look great. I would do purple...but I'm a chick so yeah.

trucker bob · 03-02-2011, 08:41 PM

That thing is sic!! Either way would look good, but I would go with the chrome cage and blue panels, kinda matches the wheels and shocks.

Diesiel man · 03-02-2011, 09:32 PM

That was my initial thought until I realized how much carbon fiber panels and a copper frame would really be different.

bought it and had to wait 6 weeks. $350+ just for the chassis. Not for the light of heart and the wait is painful. I got mine the day after the 6th week. They really dragged it out. Quality is nice, but for $350 it better be.

Chrome with blue/green.

its my buddy james, he is a vendor on rc short course

his screen name is black reign over there

MnRockCrawler · 03-05-2011, 05:28 AM

Chrome cage, Main color on panels black, design copper.
Ive only seen 3 Rc rails in person before. And they were all blue. So I think that might have been a little over done.

scorpion ax-10 · 03-05-2011, 06:34 AM

im on the copper and black side but im biased, because thats what i painted my bronco like and i love it....

heres so you can see how that turned out

1qwkfox · 03-05-2011, 08:32 AM

Blk & Green w/ copper or Chrome Accents.

jwalker · 03-05-2011, 08:21 PM

I would do the cage chrome and the panels that fluorescent green with some black designs. for a sand rail you want it to look bright and mean as heck.

Nabil · 03-06-2011, 10:27 PM

sissy sand cars are all bling so i would agree. something bright and obnoxious is the only way to go

we have been working on another one with all carbon fiber panels

daign · 03-09-2011, 01:15 PM

I introduce you to Copperhead.

Panels, motor, wiring, lighting is next.

irockid86 · 03-09-2011, 02:27 PM

bigchad · 03-09-2011, 02:28 PM

dubAron · 03-09-2011, 08:38 PM

The panels will be something special. I think it'll really complete the rail.
