Honestly, I don't see a thing worth upgrading on this. Unless your just upgrading for customization to make it your own. If I was doing a big bore mabe alloy diff hosing and front brace.in your opinion, what are some must-haves with the max pro? any parts that should be upgraded right off the bat?
The max pro is a great rig out of the box but upgrades would depend on what your plans are for it. For speed runs and general parking lot bashing the 2 speed is probably a must havein your opinion, what are some must-haves with the max pro? any parts that should be upgraded right off the bat?
They have bigger cans and the quality seems top notch. See if they make a color you likeI never looked at traxxas paint didn't know they made paint
I’d be running an electric set up so probably won’t need the 2-speed. Thanks for your input.

Avoid translucent. Unless you’re experienced. It’s a tough one because the paint is see through. Applying it perfectly and evenly is 100% the way it’s done. Other wise you’ll bet splotchy job with darker and lighter spots. It’s only noticeable once the backing Color is applied.About how many cans of paint would I need to paint this body
I'm going with a
Translucent red I'm thinking 3 cans
Backed with silver 3
Black roof and maybe some stripping 2
Does that sound like enough
Don't be afraid of candy and translucent paints. Just takes patience and lots of light to medium coats to get it right. Clubbing is right though, it really only pops when the backer is applied, and there are so many choices there that will effect how the candy/ translucent paint looks. Metallics, solid color, shade of solid color, pearls (usually done first.) Etc. Really makes or breaks the effect. The other thing is depth of color or the wet look requires more coats to get. Not so terrible painting the inside of a body to do, but it can be a bit tough to gauge when to add the next coat and not f it all up.Avoid translucent. Unless you’re experienced.

Fast Color pearl red. Is a cool Color.
Pick up an airbrush and play. Airbrushing is fun and it’s not that hard. And a paint shaker. Is another nice addition.
