XSC Build

[Guest]

Since the XSC went on sale I decided to build one. It is a PITA with one hand. LOL. It keeps me off the couch. This will be a slow build. I started with the body. I really wanted to try a Grafil 2pc SC body. I got the rough trim done but still need to smooth out my cuts. The body dwarfed the stock wheels & tires. I am going to mount a set of 5b size front tires on the 5t front wheels all the way around. They tuck nice under the body with no rubbing.

a little off topic but tell me about the blue hovercraft on your wall RCDAD...

 

[Guest]

It's just a toy. Came from Toys R us. Maybe 40 bucks at the most. It's kinda fun though, you forward or reverse the fans individually to controle it. It drives good on smooth surfaces or water. I bought it for my boy to drive in the pool.

Looks good so far cant wait to see it with the 5b fronts. What do you use to cut the body?

 

[Guest]

I would luv to see paint & bodies and wheel & tires.

that looks soo cool!

 

[Guest]

that looks soo cool!

Thanks! I'm thinking something like this for paint. I will most likely simplify it due to the 2pc design of the body.

Guys have really done a wonderful job!

Our body 5SC-G fits really well at REDCAT...!!!!

A paint job like yours deserves to be treated with maximum care possible!

It would be a real shame to break such a beautiful body
