Hehe, I'll take that advice! :D I did see your hands tho', so I kind of figured that that stuff was messy and maybe I would've used a mask to breath through as well.. :D

So, my local hobby store just confirmed they got both red and blue Sports on stock..

Since they dont get the kit before end of june I dont think I can wait that long, and since there isn't any used ones on the market either, I guess the choise stands between red and blue..

So, Red or Blue?

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

PURPLE !! :shock: :lmao: I'm no good at choosin'. :roll:

Hard to choose. To me, the blue is a bit to dark n the red is a tad to brite lol. Seems alot have gone with the blue though

I was thinking red all the time before I painted the Raptor red, but since I now got a red Raptor I'm leaning towards the blue one..

Haha, you're almost like me.. I would love the Blazer, and I would love the G500 and I would most of all have the Kit-version of the sport..
But since I allready got the long wheelbase and I want a ride without the diff locks and two speed tranny, then it'll have to be the sport..
So I'm gonna go for the blue one I guess..

Re: SiCkPuPPy's TRX-4 with a Hummer H1-body.
 

So my local hobby shop now got one less in stock.. [emoji85]

A few pictures from the process..
Here I am just about started to mask it off..

Almost done

And then it was point of no return.. :p

But I dont think it turned out too shabby..

Actually pretty pleased with the color

I'm not sure about what I'm going to do with the grill..
I want it black for sure, but I dont know if I want the FORD lettering in chrome or maybe red, and the frame arount the grill the same.. Black/red/chrome..?

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

So, now it's shop-stop..! At least until I find something really cool that I just GOT TO HAVE..!!
Coz' now I guess I got what I need for the Sport..
https://i.imgur.com/lfo35Mt.jpg
Unpacked.. (Not the car itself tho', I've decided not to open the packaging on it before I've finished the Raptor body completely..)
https://i.imgur.com/bMMP4HU.jpg
I'm going for the same ESC as on the first chassis, Mamba X FTW!
https://i.imgur.com/GLFGOCM.jpg
I am also using the same type motor as on the first one, 2280KV sensored motor from Castle.

The only "wildcard" is the Servo. But a friend of mine says that this Servo is very good, so I'll try this one..

And at last, the axle housings.
https://i.imgur.com/eAzkD6a.jpg
They get two pictures.. ;)
https://i.imgur.com/rILlrRi.jpg

I also got a few other goodies, like the castle BEC if I find that useful, alu horn with 25T, some wires and other misc. stuff needed.. So, yeah.. Maybe I need to check out on some new bodies, since the ones I got just fit the long wheelbase.. But that's a later chapter!! I guess..

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

I just had to finish this one.. It's as far from perfect as can be, but at least it's done!
And counting in that this is my first ever finished hardbody I cant really be too bummed about it..
