Drilled and 3mm taped the passenger side mounting hole for the tire carrier. By my measurements i knew it wouldn't be centered but i am ok with that. Then the next task was to finger out the Driver side mount. There is a post that goes into a bracket on the bumper it was designed for but i had no bracket so thought i could flip it, drill a small hole and then just simply pin it. Um Yeah no that didn't work. Scratched my head a little and made a little bracket out of Alum, drilled and taped it for a 2.5mmbolt. Will grind of the parts shaded in black and be done with it. |

| Re: Cmbscx10 Tries a Traxxas TRX4 Thanks Man. I appreciate the comment. Slowly but surely it's getting done. Got a RC3WD Warn 9.5cti winch for cheap so through that on the front bumper. More than likely i will run a HeyOk controller but not sure which one yet. The hook is too small for RC3WD King Kong Large shackles so i will be on l the lookout for the King Kong Large hook. In the meantime just like my 1:1 i used the offroad Noob pull strap to hold the hook. ** Anyone have any tips on how to seal the stickers so they don't peel off?

I was wondering if clear lacquer nail varnish would be suitable.

Picked up these little emblem sticks when I finish the body. Not sure if they will last but very very detailed.

Finished my first attemp at using an airbrush. Rattle can is easier for sure but i can see with lots of practice this could be good for the little touches. Wanted to paint the window seals black but after trying the airbrush i think i will stick to the stickers for now. Will give it a shot on the next one once i get more control. Flares turned out Meh! Good but not with my OCD good. Will tint the windows tomorrow. |

Fortunately there are quit a few already done so at least nobody is waiting on me for part R&D then production. Work and family life is always busy like most but this year and the last few months have been the worst. My company has doubled in size in less than 4mo and the internal fun of new employees, payroll, customers etc comes along with it. Soooo much fun. Like all my projects I won't do it half ass. My OCD won't let that happen. Crossing my fingers as mid October to the end of the year is closing projects so much slower and hope to finish it then. | |
