HYPER-BOY Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Top notch so far! - lovely truck, can't wait to see the colour when done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I agree on the dark red metallic colour, AJ. Wouldn't have even considered it, until I saw this picture of the Gmade Komodo. Dark metallic red really sets off the black and chrome parts. Definitely getting a Komodo in a similar colour, at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Gearing seem good, I reckon in low it's around a SCX10 with a 35t on stock gearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetoR Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Ahhh, so you actually operate a 3rd channel, to shift gears? Rather neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Yep, you can change gear on the move, but there's not enough room in my flat to show it and also I don't have enough hands to film, change gear, steer, all at the same time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 looks good sounds pretty fast can change the gearing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 You can only change the pinion gear, tbh the high gear won't be used a lot apart from showing off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Picked up a can, doing a test panel and it looks good, a bit flat but as with all automotive paints it will need flattening back and a laquer over the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
