View attachment 18226Another new body is going to be done tonight. This is a v2 body on a v3 Typhon. I like the newer body better so I got my hands on one. More pics to come.
They are actually a bit different. The roof line is smooth and slightly lower. The front corners are lower too. The air vents on the back are not only cut out, but also bigger in size. The v3 defenitely seems more aerodynamic.How is the v3 body different? I thought it was just a paint job from the v2 to v3, did they change the body mold?
Yeah. The tail definitely has a more aggressive cut to it. I have found that the old body has slightly more clearance for my dual 5400 3s batteries.Thanks!
Looks like the shoulder bumps got toned way down too. Also, maybe the tail angle is a bit higher on the v3?
similar, Subtle
Annoyingly both the v2 and v3 bodies rub like mad on a number of objects on the chassis and all the protective under stickers Arrma place on them are in the wrong place . Even my v3 shell which is only used to keep the shelf queen looking pretty is starting to wear through, and its not even been bashed! I'm going to have to gorilla tape it up soon.Yeah. The tail definitely has a more aggressive cut to it. I have found that the old body has slightly more clearance for my dual 5400 3s batteries.
Very cool!Hey Guys,
New to the Arrma family. Through the cold winter months I've found out that custom painting bodies is as nice as bashing on itself. Here are some pictures of my projects. Be glad to here some comments, feedback or remarks. Happy bashing everybody.

These are amazing, so intricate, that is brilliant work. I'd love to know the full process. I am lucky to do a couple of colours, with no shadow or anything. These are stunning!Hey Guys,

That is very interesting thank you.Thanks guys,
I'm will do some extra bodies in the future, then i'll post some step by step pictures.
There are no golden tips, just patience and practicing on a steady hand. I only use masking tape and no masking paint.
A technique is scratching painted areas with a tootpick to get worn or shredded effects.

They do appear to be a rebrand of the Duratrax Lockups and Louse RC Buggy Rock tires on different rims. Every once in a while Tower has the Duratrax ones on sale, last time they were $15 a pair.
