| MaX-D Assembles a Sport!
I won't bore you with a play by play of the build. There are plenty of great builds on here from others. Here's the skinny on the goods......... Holmes Hobby 12T Crawlmaster Hobbywing Quicrun 1080 ESC Hitec HS 7950 Servo SSD 1.9 Steel Beadlocks Pitbull Berserker 1.9 4.35" Alien Kompound Tires Futaba 4PLS Radio/Receiver Proline 1977 Dodge Ramcharger body Rollbar and Steering Wheel from JawsTec Driver: You'll Soon Find Out I haven't painted the body yet. I'm thinking red top with white sides. It will have the top off as I don't like SUV, Bronco/Blazer type bodies. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk |

Thanks for the kind words. It's by far the easiest kit build I've ever done, and I've done many. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk | |

I like this color combo on the Ramcharger, or black and white. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk |

Nice Max! You’re off to a good start. Really digging those berserkers. I had the 1.55” variety last year and was a big fan, cool to see the 1.9” version on a build.

| Re: MaX-D Assembles a Sport! Me too. I think I will go with that color scheme and then spray some matte clear over it to dull it up a bit. I would like to do some minor weathering and rust here and there, but I've never done that before I'm afraid I would screw it up. We'll see....... Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk |

I like the size of these tires. Not too big, not too small. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk |

I hate masking a body, and I hate painting because I suck at it. For the first time I tried the green Frog Tape. I will only ever use frog tape from here on in. So easy to use compared to masking tape or the blue painter's tape which is absolutely horrible Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk |

Hey, great color choice! I hear ya on the body masking! That is why I do simple paint schemes on my bodies! It ranks right up there with installing electronics and wiring! My least favorite! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I've always done it this way because it is a lot easier to paint the black and the matte finish is the look that I wanted. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk | |

build looks great Max! Paint on the outside of the shell will always dry in a matte finish. As far as I know Tamiya has a clear flat PS but not a clear gloss. At times it would be handy to have it however. I have never run the Holmes Crawlmaster line, but at 12T it seems like that 550 could be pretty quick? |
