[Mr.Duke]

Center section complete

 

[joostin420]

Fresh and clean

 

[Mr.Duke]

Completely rebuilt, just waiting on the clear body to show up and figure out what I want to do for paint.

Went with 30k front, 1M center and 60k rear like I have in my Talion to see if I can get it to rotate on throttle better. Gearing is 22/46 on 8s

Are Xt90-S better as the QS8 ?

 

[Mr.Duke]

Are Xt90-S better as the QS8 ?

No but they serve their purpose well for this application so I haven’t had a need to switch over to something bigger. I have xt150s on all my on road speed runners and xt90s on all my off road Arrmas.

Do you own something other than black paint?

I’m fighting the urge, trust me

I kinda want to hydro dip another body for this one but not sure if I want to watch it get destroyed with all the extra time it takes.

Don’t be TOO shocked if I go all PS5 on this one
Silver….gun metal grey….. (?) not sure yet

Stuck on 2 totally different colors for this one and haven’t decided yet…

Tamiya PS-28 Fluorescent Green
Or
Tamiya PS-48 Semi-Gloss Silver Anodized Aluminum

 

[🇺🇸 DΞזΞפּ 🇺🇸]

Honest to God, I wouldn't touch it, it looks great as is imho

 

[BashingBrian]

I can't decide if I love it or if I'm terrified of it..

I say go green..!!

I think you’re right…
Green it is

I agree the green will help it pop the details of the dip.
