Morning guys :thumbs_up:
As some of you know ive been working on my T-MAXX after killing it,lol
Well its nearly done now (65%) so ill have loads of progress pictures to show you all soon once its finshed. :clap:
but untill then i thought i would give you a quick peak, my mate saw the colour i was doing my MAXX and he asked if i could spray his truck (my old truck) like it, so i did,lol
My T-MAXX has a 'mini me'


I got a great tip off andy on how to get spray paint off from most electric model shells, Nitro Fuel takes the paint off easy :clap:
the truck used to look like this..

hmm defo better in yellow B)
As soon as ive done a bit more to my T-MAXX i will start doing a project post in the forum, not long now :thumbs_up:
BIG THANKS to andy (monty) for all the painting tips and help :cheers: :thumbs_up:
HAPPY RC-ING ALL.. :rc_car:

Hi guys :thumbs_up:
:lol: WOW I have finally finshed the new shell for my T-MAXX, i love it :drool: it looks well different..
This is what the MAXX looked like before (apart from the wheels)

With the old everyone has one shell, lol

Heres some pictures of my progress and how i got on..
Sprayed the chrome frame and bumpers, plus colour changing windows B)



Now with some nice yellow..

Heres my custom made stickers from nitel graphics, they are cut out and nitro proof..


:lol: one of the reasons why it took me so long finsihing the shell was because of the vinyl stickers and stuff, i had to make the grill my self, it turned out not to bad at all. B)

Unfortunately this is the part where i missed out a few pictures, i did take some but they turned out well bad, anyways here the shell done and all that was left to do was put the new parts on chassis.

Oh and i need make and fit a special light setup to the shell but, im making lights for you guys before i start mine..
And finally heres a few pictures of the MAXX finished and looking nice a different :drool:







I Love the new look, what do you guys think ???
Oh and apart from being able to see the parts in the rear, why you think i left it clear hmm? :D



And the last little thing i had to do was make a little RC banner for the Truck & plane for when i buy one. :lol:

hope you like it guys, look forward to seeing all your comments, good or bad :thumbs_up:
HAPPY RC-ING ALL.. :rc_car:
