Default RockRoach New lid for the SW!

Went lid shopping and I couldn't find anything I liked. So I figured I would jump on the bug bandwagon. I had to hack so much off of it it looks more like a roach than a bug. I got my wideners in from TheCrawlerStore.com so now I can run my RC4WD beadlocks. I am running 10.25 track and I am pretty happy with the stability.

were you going for the spray look or did you mess up on masking. if you were going for the spray look then i think it looks pretty neat, if not then you should have been going for the spray look.

I did it on purpose.

Most of my paint jobs are fades.

I am color blind and I see better than that. Maybe it goes with the RockRoach theme to you then.

I Like the body, even if you are color blind. My favorite part is the chassis, I love the black ones that you can hardly even see.

Here is a pic when I built it up. I have since changed to the CheapBatteryPacks 1400 2/3 AA's plus I added two more cells above as well. I will shoot a new pic. I have been running them on both my SW's with no issue.

My black SW2 arrived today.
