Have you got the clear body yet? I'm gonna pick one up soon to go on a Venture SBK but one thing I cant see in the pictures is whether or not there are dimples for the fender flares or not. I'm hoping they don't have dimples or that they're on the small side.

Sprayed the top. Looks pretty good. Also put a set of redcat axles on the kids truck. Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk Last edited by mgputer; 02-17-2019 at 08:49 PM. |

I'm liking the black roof Is that a bedliner or textured paint? I see you're trying a different grill again. I tried one out and found the the stock grill has an extra mount in the middle so swapping grills leaves a sizable hole that can be seen through the grill. I suppose a new radiator sticker would fix that though. Last edited by HumboldtEF; 02-18-2019 at 11:09 PM. |

Some of the grills have that peg. This style didn't and I didn't notice until after I printed it. I might see if I can make something because the body buckles in the center also because of it. Or just put the stock one back on lol. Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk | |

Printed out humboldtef's bumper plug to plug the bumper. My cat was getting worn off. Printed some spacers also too lift the sliders up about 8mm. The body had to be trimmed a little bit off the bottom edge. Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk Last edited by mgputer; 02-18-2019 at 08:16 PM. |

I decided I didn't like my rear bumper the way it was so I changed it. I like it a lot better. Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk |

Did the screws for the bumper plug dimple through? If so use some washers or 6mm screws IIRC. I made that area as thin as possible and it still "dimples" through with the stock screws. I like the bumper sticking out a hair, I already started to develop some cracking at the rear area near the bumper so I'll take all the protection I can get. Its too bad they didn't make the bumpers full width. This is one of the few trucks I'd be happy to keep the stock bumpers on, that is if they were full width. |

The screw popped through the bumper plug so I just left it for now. It still passes the 5ft rule. I didn't feel like printing another, maybe a different day lol Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk | |
