im not a very good (lexan) painter, but i really tried on this one.. its still questionable. wifey picked out the colors.. i wanted all pink:D really.. haven't really fit it yet as i just have a rolling chassis. still rebuilding and waiting for a few other goodies. this body is going on the mt wich has an x-can, so i don't have to worry about pipe clearance. it seemed to fit ok. i had to grind away the sides of my alum body mount up front to clear the hood scoop. its alot thinner then the stock one. hopefully it holds up well. i'll get better pics when its mounted

Nice looking body. Tell you wife we all wanted to see it PINK :p !


Oh, also, how thin is it? I was gonna order that but I think I'll wait to see if you bust yours up first.

ya, you might want to wait. it seems pretty thin compared to the fg shells i've have in the past. also the roll cage doesn't fit on so well. i eather have to raise the body mounts or cut out a large portion of the rear window/bed. it looks great mounted up, but i'll have to see how it holds together. for $95, it is one of the cheaper options tho
 
pics with wheels dude! ;) Those are thin shells, they always have been. I am trying the FG Jeep on mine when I get caught up. The cats seem stable a bit (not you moo). jk

The new MCD truck bodies are really nice. I have a new MCD MT and the body is holding-up very well. I wish there was an alternative body to replace the TT shells. I broke mine on the 3rd lap on our race track just after I finished painting it. It took a lot of shoe goo to put it back together. I have joked about covering the entire body with fluorescent duct tape when I race it at the No Limit RC race. That'll look good in the magazines!!! If I do this, I'll post pics.
