cyronn Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Nice candyman xD I'm not jelly , you might need to put something on the chassis to help the lipo's from sliding up and down. I bought some self adhesive foam and put that on my DEX408 chassis when I had it, also did provide a small amount of cushion for the lipo's to.

The Dark Knight Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Looking awesome, as others have said, brilliant paint job Now get some electrics in it Have you decided what you're going for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candyman Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 What compressor and paints did you use. I have a pretty basic little diaphragm compressor and i use faskolor paints. Its taken me a long time to get this far but I still get stuff wrong, im not "artistic" im just good at copying good paintjobs I see. Looking awesome, as others have said, brilliant paint job Now get some electrics in it Have you decided what you're going for? Im using what I had in my lightning, so thats Tekin T8 2050kv on 6s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickstar Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 When my two boys give me time I jump on the airbrush, im also not very artistic but just keep at it, theres plenty of stencils out there to start up a design then finish with free hand, im in the middle of my first painted shell, just using rattle cans this time, photos should be up by the weekend.

Titchie Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 o I like how thats set out, seems well balanced, when I start looking for another truggy I might look at these. Looks quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titchie Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It is expensive, but then again this isnt a nitro converstion, its a brushless through and though. Like the looks of the quality, looks to be up there with losi. Very tempted in the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyllewellyn Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Fantastic looking truggy and you just know it will perform just as good as it looks( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candyman Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 erm... well now... your going to make a deal out of this but I havnt actually driven it yet I still have the electronics in my lightning stadium, I will probably swap it all over to this for this summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they know how many eggs it layed in your brain? (Use the Durango AMAGAAAAD!!) Did same with my D8T. Bought kit, built 1st bit then left it for like 6months Tho now one of my fave and most used cars. Have to say Dex408t.... if it wasnt for the D8T, I`d be on it like a tramp eating chimps.

Candyman Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 what isnt helping is I have a a serpent truggy with the proper serpent electric conversion kit, im building it now, I might end up putting the electrics in that lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HYPER-BOY Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The Serpent Truggy is just the best Truggy going imo... Walked all over the 8ight-T.. that was a 2.0 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candyman Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 I have this: and this plus a few spares, the kit has a new chassis and shell so it should be like a new truck when its done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine! - I do prefer nitro but that will look silly good when done and go silly fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
