Default I'm back and now Hustling

Been so busy this summer with work, but finally got my new rig done. It's one of the RCP SE Hustlers.

Looks nice. Care to explain how you did the paint? I like that.

the front steering doesn't look very proportional... unless you have the toe set really wide. Love the paint on the panels though!

So how about some specs? Dewalt packs?

What is DAS GLUTE LEBEN?

Aaron was running his Hustler today with exteranal springs, seemed to work good. You missed out on the comp today!

Sprayed the first layer (Candy Purple) let it begin to get tacky (maybe 20 seconds) and then blotted it with a plastic grocery bag, let it dry, then backed it with Daytona yellow.

Yep, I ran my stick that way and it worked well, but I do need to tweak it to bring the toe back in a bit. Thanks for the compliments.

Not sure but she is a pig! Especially since I haven't switched to lipos yet. I've got 8 4500 sub-cs on the beast. And it may be heavy but it has balls and will move.

Cool. I've use paper sacks for blotting in flame work before. Never tried a plastic bag.

Never woulda thunk it was sprayed purple first.

Not as heavy as I thought it would be, still has some weight to it, came in right at 10 lbs on the money.

It does look great. What I've found is that you shouldn't spend a ton of time on it. Sometimes the best ones are very simple.. Intersted in some shots in action.. Are you planing on going lipo?
