supersavage Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Some pics of my painted rally body for my 5ive It's far from a perfect paint job and I'm still not sure whether I like it or not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Paint job looks good... Perhaps it may benefit from a few decals? Just saying that based on rally cars being covered in them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I know that feeling, I used to have masses of stickers and decals from large scales and no idea where they are now lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpmart Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Good work there mate! Well done! need some more details.... How are you running it, stock 5T width in the pics or with the mini arms and geo etc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 sorry, another question... Under compression, as you have it there, do you think there will be any rubbing on the wheels and the body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you running it, stock 5T width in the pics or with the mini arms and geo etc? Yes it's fitted with mini arms etc and fitted with a 0 degree toe block. I do need to sort out the front toe as it's a bit off and have a trim around the front wheel arches otherwise I'll have some serious rubbing issues. Also the eagle eyed among you will notice that I have the exhaust port plugged (3rd pic) as I have no exhaust that fits at the moment as the Samba I have doesn't fit with the narrower mini suspension, I did order one but I have no idea when It'll arrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the front wheels will rub on the top of the wheel arch at least on mine they do as my cage is a bit wonky so the body doesn't sit as well as it could. The rear might just be ok but that may depend on what tyres you use. I plan to shoe goo a few places just to try and protect the paint and reinforce the body a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 So 5t wheels work well with a rally set up, next move when my tyres are shot..... absolutely love the look of it, yes more stickers but it stands really nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Well my new BZM Micro silenced exhaust turned up today (didn't know that they did a silenced version) and once I've figured out how to fit I'll get a pic of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Oh dear If someone has one of these pipes have I done something wrong? As there's a couple of issues, it's a bit too close to the airfilter and I can't get into my battery box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Can't help you as I've only got the unsilenced versions.... Let me know if you can't work it out and are interested in a swap for the standard one.... I've got a set up with a different battery box on one of mine, so shouldn't cause me an issue! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
