Paint Ideas For The Mt?

[ZielkeRacing]

I will tomorrow. I do know they are thin. I had one mounted on a Duratrax MT for a customer and it didnt last 3 tanks.

It can't be any worse than the body we have now.......plus the ford body looks better. I wish they made a Nissan Titan or a Toyota Tundra body.....oh well.

Here are some pics of the stock Redcat shell I just painted.
I did lower the mounts one slot on the front and the rear. I also installed the rezzy shocks so it sits higher.

looks great.


that didn't take too long.


sounds like the mmr chevy body may be a good option, let us know.

Here are a few pics of a MCD and an FG Jeep. The Jeep holes are almost perfect for lining up. The rear body post will have to be mounted on the back of the shock tower. Just 4 screws.

Arrg, stop it, you're just teasing us now. That jeep body in your true fire with the winch and all...........Arrg, stop it

It looks like the MCD fits perfect..

 

[Ron E]

both look to fit well, great, more options...


i'm a ford man, I work at a linc/merc dealer, but the jeep is cool. would def look great with a realistic paint job.


(or any of your paint jobs)

Just tryint to give you guys some ideas. The Jeep body is thick also like the FG truck shell.

Yes, it would. It is a highly detailed shell. The bed is even a diamond plate look.

Yes it does fit nice. My roll cage is currently off so I will have to check it with the cage on tomorrow. I wont say its very thin anymore

You don't like that??

 

[Piranha2]

oh no, in fact I love that......it's that I don't HAVE that !!!

 

[ZielkeRacing]

I forgot that I even had that on my site. I should order some of them too. I will have some shells painted up once they arrive.

 

[Piranha2]

If you get the Desert Rat bodies, I would like one like this, carbon fiber, roll bar, tire detail.............don't know WHO'S it is but I'm sure HE wouldn't mind. HE seems like a real nice guy

No comments? I thought someone would know.

 

[ZielkeRacing]

I give up, I don't make carbon bodies for the rampage though. I do make some for the 5b but not this far yet. i think I may have a hint on WHO.

 

[Lizardking]

nice..........

 

[kryptonite]

carbon fiber looks great, but i just really enjoy the detail of a professionaly painted body. its been a few years since i looked at the price of a carbon body, but i remember when they came out for the 5b.. holly crap!! correct me if im wrong zielki, but werent they like $350.00?(5b)

 

[ZielkeRacing]

yes, I only sold mine to friends. I never had them on my site. I would rather paint one if you know what I mean. I like to see my work on someones buggy or truck. I still see them that much and even more for the 5b. I like paint - makes me feel gooooooood
