What did you do to your rc this week?

Well I had the day off work and the truck is in the body shop so I stayed at the house and worked on the wraith. Took it back apart and cleaned up the cuts I made with the lexan scissors and trimmed alittle more and wow it looks so much better! I also gave the chassis a few fresh costs of black. image-6.jpg image-5.jpg

the body panels look good. If you have any places that are rough and you cant get them with the scissors, you can use a sanding drum on a dremel tool to smooth them out. I can't see any spots in the pics, but just saying. Hell I cant see **** right now period.
 
I ended up mounting the driver side backwards. Had the directionals all going the same way when I glued them on thinking that would be right but it wasn't. I will break em down one day and fix it though. But I don't know how big of a difference it makes... It throws some rooster tails now on 3s!

Big size difference. They are the same size as 2.2 flat irons. And I had rip saws before so these things are a world of a difference in loose dirt. Not sure in the rocks yet though
 
Well ill be the first to admit that its no any where near a perfect job done with the body, but its finally done! This was the first one i had ever done and it took alot more time than i thought it would! I got to the point where i knew there were mistakes but i really just didnt care and wanted to be done with it, learned alot for sure and will be much more prepared if i ever do another one. Well here it is.
