Very nice job on those

I hate not having inner fenders now that I’ve been spoiled by a lot of kits and rtr’s having them.

But they also include black housing external decals if you didn't want to use the light buckets.
Thanks! I didn't realize the body came with all of the light buckets. They look great and I'm now convinced I NEED this body!

You're killing it on the inner fenders! Great job!!

Thanks gents. And Brian, if you can get past the squished looking cab, it's an awesome body!


Nice weather today, so took advantage and sprayed these when I got home. Absolutely loved doing these and I look to start making them for the other inner-fenderless rigs. Onto the pictures.

Tedious styrene tracing.




Mounted for fitment check, removed the tape and laid glue down. I've never used Plastruct plastic weld before, awesome stuff.





I wasn't sure on what type of paint I should use so I just went with Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric flexible spray paint. Seemed normal. And I only painted the exposed sides (saves on paint lol).









Future near updates will probably only be some footage. Otherwise, it'll be a while until I get the Knight Customs interior. I'm still calling this one another one complete in the books!! Poor neglected #8 TK finally got it's love. Now to finish #11 Slash 4Runner...

Took @Mud Daog 's suggestion and got some shorter tires to prevent rubbing as I did not want to trim any more off the body. Went with Pro-Line's class 0 BFG Krawlers in G8 compound. Perfect diameter with no rubbing and adjusted the suspension a tad. As far as scale, the diameter looks correct but now the TRD style wheels look too big...





I can live with it, but for fun I also threw on my Krait TE37 1.55 wheels with 3.95 Pit Bull Braven Berserkers. In my opinion the scaling looks spot on (1:1 is 15-16" as opposed to 19" lol) but do the tires look too big?
