Extremely nice Monster! What a design gets the body?

Thanks, still thinking about what paintjob to give it...
I'll have to find an affordable airbrush first and wait on shiny weather too. But I think it will be anthracite metallic with silver 'swooshes' on the sides. And definitely a bigger wing with a different colour. |

Hmmm, a poison green with black swooshes (fit to the wheels) would also be a interesting combi

Sounds very cool indeed...
But that's more or less the plan for the Dirt Trasher shell. If possible, I want to do a flipflop (chameleon) camo-like paintjob on that one. So the colour will change depending on the angle of the light that hits the body. |

I've given the front end a bit more height by changing the hole I'm using on the suspension arms.
On the picture above it's easy to see it's actually a bit too low... Now the arms are slightly pointing downward. I'll probably go for some 90mm GPMs at a later point. Also looked around a bit for an alternative (bigger) wing. I remember that the Ansmann that tamiya nut put on his Manta Ray with Terra Conqueror body looked pretty good. But I don't really want to put on one from a competitive brand... So I think I'll choose a 1/8 Pro-line wing. Like the shape also. Btw - it will not have the extreme 'Pro-line' on it in my vision. Could also be an item without markings from another brand. I've seen nice ones by 3Racing and YR too. |

Oh my, same person that sent me the compressor also sent me this :
A Tamiya Spray-Work. How cool is that! So all I need to get started is some paint and a bit of sunshine. And I've been having serious brainstorms about a chameleon camo paint job. Not the other way around (the term) 'cause that would sound like Culture Club too much... |

Already had these badass looking rims lying around for a while :
And today I did a trade-in for the most awesome matching boots I could think of : I'll glue them in a little while but do a testfit soon. Don't worry guys, I'll do a (close to) original build for the third chassis... This one's just hoppin' off the map. |
