New Paint on New MT

[Top Jimmy]

I painted this today. First time ever. I just got the MT today and wanted to do the fun part first! Now for the Loctite,pipe,air filter,kill switch, and metal tempering! And more body decorating...

Looks good.

Looks fine.

It looks good. Would look a lot better if you lowered the body. That's if you plan on keeping those small wheels.

 

[Top Jimmy]

I just set the body on there for pictures. I'm not sure if I'm gonna just run the Integy wheels for track time.

[Cajun]

some of my favorite colors on there, now I feel lazy for painting mine Black lol, but it was a revamp from the ugly red that was on it

I dumped the tires. I'll run stock until I get the hub kits. I'll upload more pics soon. I added some more decals.

Top Jimmy!

Very nice! Curious about that stand...where did you get it?

Thanks.

 

[Top Jimmy]

That's a Home Depot Special.

 

[Xicaque1]

Brother, I like Home Depot! Well, I used to like them a lot in the 90s to mid 2005. They got a bunch of morons in working in there now.

Did you make the stand yourself? Can you show me some closer pics? I want one like yours. Nice

I think the stand is made by ridgid. I think.

 

[Top Jimmy]

Caveman nailed it! It's a Rigid stand. they're normally around 30 bucks.I got mine for $15 cause it was all scratched on the top plastic part. that's were the truck sits anyways!!! I'll try to find the item number and post it.

I'm damn near done. Only a few more things. The Diff cups have been tempered,Killer Bee installed,pipe,HPI filter,shred stack,shock covers,switched RX/TX to FlySKy GT3B, all loctite complete,5000 venom battery,vented the fuel system,etc. only gonna add a few more logo's,very few, change out the throttle servo when the stock one craps out. My wife asked me last night if I was ever gonna run it! I suppose I should put gas in it now! I do have concern that the pipe will melt the body. Any suggestions??? I was gonna put a few pieces of the aluminum duct tape against the body where there is contact or where its really close.

Maybe try to pull it towards the roll cage with zip ties. The tape will transfer heat. Now that said we got to bash and get urs dirty.
