Here are a couple of pics of my newly built half8. I gave my original one to my older brother, hopefully it will get him back into r/c. Although this almost an exact clone of my first one believe me this one has a few more goodies :) . Body is the crowd pleazer painted by R2.

Thanks....
I ordered them from www.badhorsie.com, they are the ones made for small buggies (associated, and losi). They cost $8 a set,and have 8 different colors. I was able to cut them in half and make 2 sets.

Very nice paint and pattern! Great job bro.

Those are HPI Vylin Wheels? How about the tyres?

I thought you would have it painted by now..LOL
I checked out a couple of R2's bodies in an album and chose the colors I liked and let him do the rest.

No time... I barely got enough time to paint my 1/5 scale motor cycle for the race on 8/7

I finished painting it at 2am the morning before the race..and decalled it right before I left the house to go race....

talk about no time
