Just finished painting a Nissan Titan body for my SW2/TLT. Had to trim little more than I wanted to cause of the articulation but I'm pleased overall. The body color is Tamaya gun metal and just used quick drying Krylon glossy black for the windows, also installed some l.e.d.'s for headlights.

Did you buy or build that crawler?

havik · 02-24-2007, 03:45 PM

lets see her top less
i like that body, paint is good but i would have left a little more of the bed. just me though, looks good

i think it would have looked better if you left more of the bed but thats just me. whatever floats your boat

madmarty · 02-24-2007, 07:16 PM

Wow..you really chopped that thing up, but it looks good. I like the gunmetal, that's what I'm painting my C-10 scaler i'm working on.

MAX climber · 02-24-2007, 11:12 PM

Looks good...where did u get the body...i know some1 who wants 1

Rc EnthuSiasTs · 02-25-2007, 12:05 AM

They are made by pro-line, can get them at your lhs ( local hobby shop)!!

MAXIMUS · 02-25-2007, 01:21 AM

Hey JR, I built it my self, it was my first crawler and thank god for this website or there would have been alot more trial and error.

patrick_b · 02-25-2007, 08:17 AM

Looks great!! I plan to get one of those titan bodies...I just like the front grill as I'm a new generation Xterra owner (same looking front end). Sure wish someone made an Xterra body so the titan will have to fulfill my Nissan fix

Also love the color. Of all the LHS's, I only see the same lineup of Pactra paint. All the same ole stuff. I may have to break down and mailorder something like that gunmetal grey.

BTW, I'd have liked to see more of the bed in yours too but I know how you feel about hacking up th the bodies. My SW2 always causes me to hack 'em up too. Looks great! I'm a big fan of the simple paint jobs and yours looks terrific.

Here's some pics of how the l.e.d.'s are mounted. I went to radioshack and picked out the ones with the highest rated lumines (1200 candle power) soldered them up and attached them to a hitec female plug and installed into the battery slot on the reciever and the lights into the drilled out holes in the body and angled them down a bit before the superglue was applied. Ensure though that the l.e.d.'s are rated for 7 volts or higher or they will just burn out. I haven't noticed any effect on run times. Here's the pics...

Nice rig and sweet looking paint on the body. i like the way the front is cut, but like th erest, I would like it more if it had more bed.

xr100 · 03-02-2007, 06:26 PM

did you make that cuz i really like it im looking for 1 for my new crawler

MrBigStuff · 03-05-2007, 10:24 PM

just a little bit of trimming i see . there isnt much of the bed left, maybe you could try to build a truggy bed for it. i think that it would look pretty good.

deadcell · 03-06-2007, 07:51 AM

Great looking rig.
Where did you get those nice shiney beadlocks???

Minor trimming huh? Half the thing is gone! Pretty badass though, it really looks sweet in those dark pictures with them lights.
