Popular Post .AJ. Posted January 5, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2023 It’s a bit of a monster, no lines really troubled the truck, even if it did struggle in low gear then a bit of speed in second conquered all, the only thing I’m going to change for the next run is to try 4s, I thought it was just too slow in low gear, so 4s and probably go down a tooth or two on the pinion. The 9imod servo worked great as well 👍 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 The paint looks great i hear you say, that’s more down to the camera angle than anything… Not so great from this angle…… The parts on the roof happened simply by me pushing on the body, it obviously wasn’t cleaned properly before painting, PayPal are now dealing with it for me.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Looks good, problem of peeling paint sorted and a bonus for me, i now know what core Bullet grey is like on a shell, may use that in future for a build 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Its a shame that the blue paint was peeling as it was quite stunning 😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 I’ve never had much luck spraying imperial/rally blue paint over the years, so I avoid it now 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 I’m going to have a go at stripping the paint off the Blue body with some nitro fuel, I saved the window masks so I may try a blue paint job on that, it all depends on how the paint strips 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
